It's eerily quiet now very tense. The second line of officers nearer the scene are - understandably - v jumpy. #ParisAttacks

From my position I can see a line of cops 100 yards away. Very twitchy - pounced on 3 men in past 5 mins but think locals in wrong place.

100 yards away nearer the scene police just shouted at a man and bundled him into a shop doorway. #ParisAttacks

The apartment is perhaps bit more than half a mile from the national stadium where the #ParisAttacks were last Friday.

and the soldiers are heading to the apartment. It won't last much longer I imagine. Doubt they'll let them capture them.
