NBC: Paris Attacks: Commando Captain Shares Details of Bataclan, Saint-Denis Raids
When elite French commandos stormed the Bataclan concert hall last Friday night, they found hundreds of people laying on the floor, blood everywhere — and an eerie silence.
Jeremy, captain of the commandos, revealed details of how the operation played out in an exclusive interview with NBC News' Lester Holt — on condition that his last name not be used.
Among the revelations:
* Commandos had to ignore the moans of the wounded to find the terrorists.
* The jihadis identified themselves as "soldiers of the caliphate."
* "Negotiations" with the shooters included "classic political demands" about French operations in Syria.
* The negotiations were an excuse to buy time to murder innocents.
