France soccer team returns at national stadium after attacks (The Associated Press)

SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) -- A calm atmosphere surrounded the Stade de France on Tuesday evening as France's soccer team returned to its national stadium for the first time since last November's attacks in Paris. Security had been tightened ahead of the game, with police cars patrolling around the arena in the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis, while fans gathered at drinks stalls a couple of hours before France took on Russia in a friendly game. ''I'm not afraid, life goes on,'' said Benoit Guyot, who traveled from the eastern region of Alsace to watch the game.
