Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the deadly Paris attacks, labelling them as "miracles" in an official statement posted online.
The terrorist group said its fighters, strapped with suicide bombing belts and carrying machine guns, carried out the attacks in various locations which were carefully studied.
The attacks were a response to insults of Islam's prophet and airstrikes in IS territory, the group said.
The statement, released in French and Arabic, reads:
"Eight brothers carrying explosive belts and guns targeted areas in the heart of the French capital that were specifically chosen in advance: the Stade de France during a match against Germany which that imbecile Francois Hollande was attending; the Bataclan where hundreds of idolaters were together in a party of perversity as well as other targets in the 10th, 11th and 18th arrondissement.
"France and those who follow its path must know that they remain the principle targets of the Islamic State."
It goes on: "This attack is just the start of a storm and a warning for those who wish to draw lessons."
