Paris Attacks: Suicide Bomber Was Blocked From Entering Stade de France. A suicide bomber had a ticket to the France-Germany soccer game, but his explosive vest was found during a security check at the gate

Countless numbers of football fans could have been killed or severely injured during the France v Germany match on Saturday – if it wasn’t for the actions of one heroic security guard.

The Wall Street Journal reports that one of the suicide bombers involved in the Paris attacks outside the Stade de France had a match ticket.

But as he tried to enter the stadium minutes after kick-off, a security guard identified only as Zouheir located an explosive device after deciding to search a man who attempted to get in near the player’s tunnel.

The bomber then backed away before deciding to detonate his device.
