'It's really not safe' Tourists in Paris 'terrified' about MORE attacks after 129 murdered
Mourners leave flowers near the capital's Bataclan theatre
TOURISTS in Paris are "terrified" about more terror attacks across the French capital after Islamic State fanatics slaughtered at least 129 people on Friday night.
 
The city went into lockdown after the co-ordinated bombings and shootings – with President Francoise Hollande shutting France's borders.
But visitors fear a new wave of attacks by sick jihadists linked to ISIS due to the lack of police on the capital's streets.
A Belgian visitor, who gave her name as Erine, said she had a "very strange feeling" and was "a little bit scared".
 
People are terrified – you can't see anybody outside

She added: "I also think there are not enough police officers around. It's really not enough.
"If something happened again, they couldn't help us or they couldn't do anything. It's not really safe."
Another returning tourist, Thomas, said: "Paris before, at this time, was very amazing.
"Right now, people are terrified. You can't see anybody outside.
"It's very strange. Everywhere is closed."

London paid tribute to the victims in Trafalgar Square

Just a handful of single yellow lights adorned the Eiffel Tower tonight after officials made the decision to close France's most famous landmark.
The usual swelling crowds were noticeably absent in the wake of the bombings and shootings – with several Britons feared dead.
The only confirmed victim from the UK so far is Nick Alexander, who was thought to originally be from Colchester in Essex.
He died while selling merchandise for American band Eagles of Death Metal at the historic Bataclan theatre.

Alexander's devastated family said: "It is with huge sorrow that we can confirm that our beloved Nick lost his life at the Bataclan last night.
"Nick was not just our brother, son and uncle, he was everyone's best friend – generous, funny and fiercely loyal. 
"Nick died doing the job he loved and we take great comfort in knowing how much he was cherished by his friends around the world.  
"Thank you for your thoughts and respect for our family at this difficult time. Peace and light."
