A Paris terror attack survivor says his cell phone blocked bullet from killing him

There have been seven apparently coordinated terror attacks in Paris carried out by at
least eight militants, all wearing suicide vests. At least 129 people are feared to have
been killed and 352 are injured.
The first attacks were launched virtually simultaneously, at just after 9.20pm local time,
four miles apart.
First, two explosions close to the Stade de France were heard 10 minutes apart inside
the stadium, where Francois Hollande was watching France and Germany play an
international friendly.
The first explosion, a suicide bombing, was at an entrance to the stadium. Last night a
guard identified as Zouheir (his first name) told a newspaper that an explosives vest
was found on the attacker as he was frisked trying to enter with a ticket.
While trying to back away from security officers the militant detonated his vest, the
guard said. A second terrorist is believed to have blown himself up around three minutes
later.
The explosions came as a large crowd were enjoying the first half of the international
friendly.
In the event, the effect of the blasts at the stadium was limited, apparently killing one
person in addition to the suicide bombers.
But as chaos began to unfold outside the stadium, Mr Hollande was quickly evacuated
by his security team as the match continued.
