Paris attacks
November 13, 2015
A coordinated cell of Islamic State gunmen and suicide bombers struck the Bataclan theater, the Stade de France, and several cafés on a Friday night in Paris, killing 130. France declared a state of emergency that would last two years. The line between the war over there and the life over here finally vanished.
