First of attacked Paris bars re-opens

Manager Audrey Bily thanked everyone who supported them during this time

PARIS: A Paris bar where five people were killed by extremist gunmen in the attacks three weeks ago became the first to re-open Friday after what its managers called the "nightmare".



"I would like to thank everyone who has supported us for your poems, your messages and posts that have so helped us. What are we going to do to start again, to bounce back?" manager Audrey Bily told reporters outside the bar, "A La Bonne Biere", in the east of the city.

Five other bars and restaurants as well as the Bataclan concert hall were also hit in the November 13 attacks in which 130 were killed.

The Bataclan concert hall in Paris, where 90 people were killed by terrorists on November 13, could re-open by the end of next year, two of its owners told a French newspaper on Wednesday.
