Three teams of terrorists carrying AK-47 assault rifles and wearing explosive vests with identical detonators appeared to have coordinated the attacks that killed 129 people and injured 352 across a swath of central Paris, French prosecutor Francois Molins said Saturday.

Eighty-nine people were killed and many others injured when three armed men took hostages and opened fire into the crowd during a rock concert at the Bataclan concert hall. The hostages were among the crowd of concertgoers standing in front of the band, Molins said.

Nineteen people were gunned down at a sidewalk cafe, and more were killed in at least five more attacks in a vibrant area not far from the Place de la Bastille.
