At least one of the attackers outside Stade de France had a ticket to the match between France and Germany, but a guard discovered he was wearing an explosives vest when frisked at the entrance about 15 minutes into the match.

While attempting to back away from security, the attacker detonated the best.

The police believe the attackers aimed to detonate his vest inside the stadium in order to provoke a stampede.

Three minutes later, a second attacker blew himself up outside the stadium and a third suicide attacker detonated explosives at a nearby McDonald's.

One civilian died in the attacks.

The blasts occurred during the first half of the match
