In an unfolding story of a series of shootings and bombings, authorities are facing a wave of terror attacks in Paris that have claimed at least 120 lives... http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34814203
Was just watching this on the news ~ prayers out to the victims and family, Camp sites at Calais were also on fire, speculated to be a revenge attack but not confirmed if related to Paris attacks
Latest body count at 153, several terrorists killed, others remain at large. http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/13/world/paris-shooting/index.html
Off topic but there was an earthquake in Japan. Friday The 13th But seriously, that is fucked up. Wasn't watching the game but Germany and France were playing and you could hear how loud the bomb went off from the broadcast. Also going to leave this here Prayers goes out to Paris and everyone affected by it..
Looks like the body count has been amended down to about 130, but there's supposedly 80 or so in critical condition. Not a good day at all. This is something that civilized nations are going to have to get in front of. That is, disregard sovereignty and just go after these guys wherever they're hiding.
France hitting back already http://abcnews.go.com/International...nched-international-manhunt/story?id=35215091 http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/11/15/paris-terrorist-attacks-airstrikes/75837088/
Good thing ! They had to do this before. Even there are more people behind this, some of them have already been arrested.
In the aftermath of the mass terror attacks in Paris, Brussels is now on alert, fearful of a repeat on their turf. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34889144 What's interesting about this is, the Belgians closed off the Metro in Brussels until Sunday. To me, this means that they had actionable intelligence, and anticipated an imminent attack on their Metro. Since the daily ridership is roughly 360K people, it is obviously a huge inconvenience to close their entire Metro. So something serious must have made them take this dramatic step. 2015.11.23 UPDATE: Belgiques Take 16 Into Custody on Suspicion of Terror Involvement Source: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34896883
