An excerpt of a few minutes of the audio recording of the ongoing Bataclan massacre was broadcast on Thursday during the November 13 attacks.
A broadcast which allows "to realize in another way the horror".
"The first one who gets up, I shoot": the special court of assizes of Paris broadcast Thursday at the trial of the November 13 attacks an extract of a few minutes of the audio recording of the massacre in progress at the Bataclan, on demand of an association of victims.
After five weeks devoted to the hearings of about 350 civil parties, this broadcast allows "to realize in another way of the horror", estimated Arthur Dénouveaux, president of Life for Paris, himself a survivor of the attack which left 90 dead at Bataclan.
"The first one who gets up, I shoot"
The president of the court Jean-Louis Périès granted his request and decided to broadcast a brief passage of the recording of a dictaphone remained on and which captured the entire attack, after inviting the civil parties who wished to leave the courtroom.
From the beginning of this extract of a few minutes, we hear the voice, seeming distant, of one of the three attackers claiming this attack "for Syria and Iraq".
It is also a question of "President Hollande" and the bombardments carried out by "French and American soldiers".
"We're bombing on earth here. We don't need us planes," the voice said.

A shot, then: "The first to get up, I shoot".
"The first who moves, I put a bullet in his head. Is it clear? Whoever tries to act as vigilante, I kill him. Is that understood?", Launches an assailant, his voice clear and calm.
Another shot follows, then a second.
"You can only blame your president François Hollande", cowardly, in a tone always monotonous, a jihadist.
On the benches, the civil parties bow their heads or take it in their hands, some embrace each other.
Few people leave the room.
"This is just the beginning"
"You can blame your president. It is he who led to this massacre today and know that this is only the beginning", it is still said in this excerpt.
Several shots are then heard, a man screaming, and the sound of an explosion.
"It is an extract which ends with the triggering of the explosive belt of Samy Amimour", after the intervention of a police officer, specifies the president, at the end of the diffusion.
The court had already broadcast in mid-September the first 30 seconds of the audio recording, in which we could hear the band Eagles of Death Metal playing and the start of the shootings.
