Paris attacks: 6 things to know now

Several major developments have occurred after Friday night's terrorist attacks in Paris. Here's what we know now.

1. \"An act of war\"

French prosecutor Francois Molins has confirmed 129 people have died and 352 have been injured. Molins said 99 are in critical condition, so the death toll is expected to rise. President Hollande identified ISIS as the culprit, called the attack an \"act of war\" and vowed to strike back. 

2. Where did the attacks happen?

The attacks happened in multiple places: a concert venue, a soccer stadium and at restaurants and bars in a popular nightlife district.

The deadliest attack occurred at Le Bataclan, one of the city's most popular music venues, which is located in a central point in relation to the site of other attacks.

An American band, Eagles of Death Metal, was preparing to perform right before the attacks happened. The suspects started shooting on the outside then held the theater hostage while killing people in the audience, a French official said. 

The attack at the stadium, Stade de France, occurred during an exhibition soccer match between France and Germany. While at capacity, only three people died from two suicide bombings at the stadium, according to AP. President Hollande was in attendance at the game when the bomb went off.

Three restaurants were targeted as well; 18 people were shot at La Belle Equipe, while 14 died at shootings at Le Carillon and Le Petit Cambodge.

3. Who is behind the attacks?

Shortly after Preisident Hollande accused ISIS of being responsible for the attack, the militant group confirmed their part in an online memo. 

There were eight suspects who carried out the attacks on behalf ISIS, the militant group said. Seven of eight attackers were strapped with (and used) suicide vests, according to reports. A Syrian passport was found on one suicide bomber outside of the stadium.

The concert venue attackers detonated the vests as authorities closed in, according to AP.

French radio reporter Julien Pearce told CNN's Anderson Cooper the shooters were speaking in French, though he was not sure if they were French.

Raids conducted in Belgium on Saturday led to the arrests of several people suspected to be involved in the Paris attacks.
