A man wearing a suicide bomb vest had a ticket to enter the 80,000-capacity Stade de France during the match between France and Germany, suggesting attackers planned to blow themselves up amid the crowd. 

He was stopped after security frisked him at the entrance to the stadium. 

While attempting to back away from security, he detonated his vest, which was loaded with explosives and bolts, according to Paris prosecutor François Molins. 

Police suspect the man had planned to detonate his vest inside the packed stadium to trigger a deadly stampede.
