Islamic State Supporters 'Celebrate' Friday The 13th Paris Attacks on Social Media

Supporters of the Islamic State (ISIS) militant group appear to be celebrating the ongoing attacks in Paris on Twitter.

Paris is currently embroiled in a night of terror, with dozens of hostages trapped inside the Bataclan concert hall. Dozens more have been killed and injured following a shootout and two explosions that occurred during an international soccer game. On Twitter, one of the main hashtags about the attacks, #ParisIsBurning, seems to have been co-opted by supported of ISIS, who are using the Arabic translation, #باريس_تشتعل., which roughly translates to Paris in flames or Paris ignites.

Some of the tweets containing the Arabic hashtag contain photos from the scene of shootings earlier this evening, while others say “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is great.” Newsweek is unable to confirm that Twitter users using the hashtag are supporters of ISIS.
