Americans among the injured in the Paris attacks

"The‎ United States Embassy in Paris is working round the clock to assist American citizens affected by this tragedy," Toner said in a statement. "‎The U.S. government is working closely with French authorities to identify American victims. We are aware there are Americans among the injured, and are offering them the full range of consular assistance." In Paris, a Syrian passport was found near the body of an attacker outside the Stade de France, according to a police source, CNN affiliate France 2 said. Multiple local media are reporting the same. Also on Saturday, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the state of emergency in France could mean restrictions on people's movements, among other measures. Border controls were tightened as of Friday, and the gendarmerie paramilitary police are on heightened alert, he said.
