Suicide bomber had ticket to the match but hero security guards stopped him

One of the Paris suicide bombers had a ticket to the
France vs Germany friendly in the Stade De France but
was stopped by hero security guards who stopped and
frisked him. A security officer working on the night, who
only wanted to be named as Zouheir, said the bomber
was frisked by one of his team as he tried to get into the
game 15 minutes after kick-off.
He attempted to back away from the security guard
frisking him and then detonated an explosive vest.
Police confirmed the bomber was planning on entering
the ground with a match ticket in a bid to cause
maximum carnage inside the 80,000-seater national
stadium.
Three minutes after it unfolded a second bomber blew
himself up outside a nearby McDonalds. One civilian
died in each attack. People inside the stadium believed
the explosions were firecrackers being set off during the
first half of the game.
The French President Francoise Hollande was at the
game and left after the first blast. Germany manager
Joachim Löw said he feared an attack, saying, “Of course
we thought of it. It was very loud. You could imagine
what had happened.”
