Laughing gunmen taunted victims in Paris concert attack

In the midst of the bloodbath at a music hall in Paris, one of the gunmen laughed and played the xylophone left behind after the band had fled the stage, according to new accounts emerging six weeks after France's deadliest terror attacks.
The three heavily armed jihadists who attacked the Bataclan on November 13 also warned terrified concertgoers cowering on the floor that "anyone who moves will be killed" -- and in some cases, they were true to their word.
The chilling accounts survivors told to investigators are the latest to emerge from the sprawling probe into the most deadly of the coordinated attacks on the French capital claimed by the Islamic State group.

Ninety people died at the Bataclan alone on a night when 130 would be killed in total.
It was 9:40 pm on that tomorrow when a black Volkswagen Polo with Belgian number plates drew up outside the venue. Three men got out, guns in hand and wearing suicide vests -- Samy Amimour, Omar Mostefai and Foued Mohamed-Aggad.
Two minutes later, one of them sent a text message to a number in Belgium saying: "It's started."

Inside the hall, the concert was in full swing. As the Eagles of Death Metal launched into "Kiss the Devil", explosions rang out. Bassist Matt McJunkins recalled seeing "flashes" pierce the darkness.

The music stopped abruptly and the band hastily left the stage as dozens of spectators fled to exits or climbed on to the roof of the building, while others desperately hid where they could.
On the floor of the concert hall, hundreds of people were lying down. The lights came on. One woman recalled seeing one of the gunmen -- "He was smiling and shooting, quite calmly."
"I felt the blood running on the floor," 33-year-old Loic told AFP. "And I could feel the impact as people fell to the ground around me."
In accentless French, the gunmen referred to France's airstrikes on the Islamic State group, shouting: "This is for our brothers in Syria and Iraq".

"What you are experiencing, our wives and our children experience that every day."
Some of the injured cried out and one woman begged the gunmen to stop shooting. One of them warned: "Anyone who moves will be killed." Shots rang out. "I told you not to move," the gunman said.
One witness told how the attackers then began toying with the concertgoers.
