http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/13/world/paris-shooting/index.html At least four different site with one possible hostage situation.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/french-police-report-shootout-and-explosion-in-paris/ar-BBmYFit Excerpt: A lot more is being reported on Live TV, including suicide bombings, a lot of casualties, and hostages taken at another location. This appears to be well-coordinated and planned, and by all appearances, a huge terrorist attack. I didn't see any other thread on this, so I hope this isn't a duplicate. Details are coming in fast. IMO: An attack of this scale is going to have huge implications, not only for France, but the rest of Europe, in particular in how it handles the huge influx of Muslim refugees. Charlie Hebdo should have been a huge wakeup call, but clearly wasn't enough of one. At last word, it's been reported that the France-Germany soccer match around which these multiple attacks have taken place, is still ongoing....which is ridiculous. Update: reported that around 60 hostages taken at a Paris concert hall. 14 being reported dead there, and more at other locations
Paris is again under attack. 4 different attacks in the city and about 18 dead French citizens. It seems that citizens are hostages at Bataclan concert hall. http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/nov/13/shootings-reported-in-eastern-paris-live It seems that the situation is becoming hot in Paris. The French President was at the stadium and some explosions in the area forced the security to carry him away. Frankly speaking, I'm not able to have a clear vision of this, I'm just following [live] the news from Paris on TV.
Indeed, it sounds very much like a terrorist attack, but I prefer to wait until lots of information comes out.
Very interesting... We're currently taking on thousands of refugees from the middle east. This makes me glad that I live in a small town that's not worth a suicide bombing or attack, and it gives us time to prepare for when this happens here in America.
Witnesses at Batlacan concert hall have reported [according to Italian press agency ANSA] that some of the terrorists were shouting "Allah hu akbar". Or they are great simulators or ...
There's been, what, 4 of these kind of attacks so far this year? Why are France's gun laws not stopping this from happening? Isn't it amazing? The more Islamic immigrants move into Europe, the more similar to the Middle East Europe becomes. This headline could have come from Lebanon or Syria. You'd expect this kind of thing, there. But Paris France? Wake up Europe.
Unfortunately it would take many of these kinds of attacks throughout Europe to wake up the population. Marxism has destroyed Europe's immune system like the AIDS virus and it can no longer repel opportunistic foreign pathogens like it did years ago, the last time Muslims tried taking over.
This kind of thing doesn't happen in east Asia because they do not give anything to immigrants. If the attackers are true to form, many or most of them will be "home grown".
Regarding the hostage situation. The BBC does seem to think this is so but the police are keeping quiet on things. The Daily Record possibly exaggerating has said that 60 people are being held hostage in a concert hall....though they also say 26 are dead which the BBC has just confirmed.
Not much to say. Just wanted my own thread on this to compete with the others. Apparently there may have been a terrorist attack in Paris and those are very bad. http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/13/world/paris-shooting/ Paris police tell CNN there were three attacks. Attackers reportedly used AK-47 automatic weapons. There were one or two explosions at the Stade de France.
It's not difficult to find a kalashnikov in Paris ... Upgrade: in the stadium of France there are 40 dead persons. The Stadium looks like a mess [I'm watching images live on TV].
It has nothing to do with multiculturalism and nothing to do with gun laws. If you do not want to express sympathy with the victims stay away. We don't need this bull(*)(*)(*)(*).
http://www.aljazeera.com/watch_now/ online . France is a weak link of the western world, 26 killed , my guess its IS
People are trying to relate it to the killing of Jihad John. 5 or 6 gunmen according to the BBC and they mentioned Syria in the attack.
Holy (*)(*)(*)(*)... OK... is it too early to speculate, the Religion of Peace involved? - - - Updated - - - Makes sense. But why Paris, was not John British?
Interesting, I thought that guns were illegal in Paris ? Also I don't know if you noticed , but a thread already exist on the subject. I'll let mods know so they can merge them.
Unfortunate. My best to France and those affected. As much as I dislike France politically, all the French people I have ever met were always very pleasant and good-natured. Undeserving of this kind of carnage.
