If it is ISIS then is it time for a NATO ground invasion?

If it is confirmed to be ISIS, I can't see France not using its position on the Security Council to demand military action

 

[diaspora]

if it is isis

this was well put

 

[Kiever Sher]

Can imagine the scene they will find in the concert hall, must be like walking into hell

 

[wheeplash]

Apparently there has been a massacre inside the theater.
My deepest condolences to all the families of these poor souls lost today.

 

[Pterion]

This is really petty, but I'm happy our PM didn't use "thoughts and prayers".

He did in the official statement in french.

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

pls is there a source on the calais claim

I googled it and only found a story from a couple weeks ago where a shelter in the refugee camp caught fire when a makeshift heater exploded.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/rossalynwar...ee-camp-show-the-risks-taken-to-k#.idYN02KdYj

Hopefully it's just pictures from that being twisted and re-reported by others over the internet.

 

[sflufan]

There is absolutely no evidence at this time that the Calais refugee camp fire is in any way related to the atrocity in Paris.

None.

 

[brau]

My friend is holed up in an apartment.

She also got killed. Saw everything. People getting killed around her.

She got in someone's car and shes holed up there. Fucking unbelievable.

holy cow dude. my prayers go to her and coming out safely.

AP: BREAKING: Police: Assault on Paris concert hall with hostages is over, at least 2 attackers killed.

Not everyone who says he's a war refugee really is. Sadly.

True, that's the problem. Most are good people, but there are a few bad guys amongst them.

Wish there was a way to verify that.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

A lot of dead people inside the bataclan.

From BFM

 

[RPGCrazied]

2 of the terrorists dead. Many others are dead, too.

Yeah, I meant 2 terrorists dead. I mean what about the stadium people.

 

[twobear]

guardian reporting that the bataclan operation has ended.

bbc too.

[hydrophilic attack]

Fuck 40+ dead. That's fucking horrible. Fuck this world.

if it is isis

Yup. And we still don't know that this is isis (or even islamists at all) in the first place

 

[Volimar]

Except, that's how a lot of ISIS members got into the country, amongst the refugees, asking for asylum.

Source for that claim?

 

[Xando]

If it is ISIS then is it time for a NATO ground invasion?

To be honest it wouldn't wonder me if french activates article 5

 

[hydragonwarrior]

why would anyone show that?

For CNN, it's whatever brings the ratings.

 

[KHarvey16]

According to who?

 

[Septic360]

holy cow dude. my prayers go to her and coming out safely.

Cheers. To clarify she didn't get killed. Fucking typo..has done it twice.

Yeah I'm fucking shaking. I was exactly there a month ago

 

[Simply Sarah]

why would anyone show that?

Because CNN is complete and total garbage, is why.

 

[paskowitz]

It was outside.

My mistake. Fixed.

 

[entremet]

Apparently there has been a massacre inside the theater.
My deepest condolences to all the families of these poor souls lost today.

Unverified sources were claiming just that via social media. Sadly, sounds like it may ring true.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Donald Trump: My prayers are with the victims and hostages in the horrible Paris attacks. May God be with you all.

Glad to see he's not politicising it.

He already did, 2 hours ago. Look two tweets down on his timeline.

 

[- J - D -]

This is just insane.

I can't imagine what it looks like inside the Bataclan. No, I am imagining it, but it's probably worse.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

i feel like puking man

 

[Downhome]

This hits close to home to me here in upstate SC. Jesse Hughes, the frontman of the band, is from Greenville here close to me. This is so horrible, just so horrible. Good lord...

 

[Zack Zavage]

No. Just no.

I have the feeling that this is just the beginning of something even more terrible.

 

[wild wild rice]

why would anyone show that?

Seriously...that type of stuff is unnecessary.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

My prayers are with the people of Paris, this is terrible.

There is an unnecessary disgusting politicizing of this, can't you people just look at the situation without injecting dumb politics in this situation? I expected better from this forum.

I am very disappointed.

 

[gutter_trash]

Europe really needs to clamp down on weapon trafficking, or else they will need to close their borders

 

[Coroner]

Source for that claim?

You really don't think any got in? It's inevitable.

 

[Symphonia]

This is fucking horrible. I just got in and saw this on Sky news. Fuck.

France has closed its borders.

I'm almost certain he will the next time he's in front of a camera.

Same. This is horrible.

 

[Buddha Beam]

Fire at refugee camp in Calais.

Hope it's not some kind of sick revenge thing

It's far more likely to be something the attackers did, either by accident or because they're just assholes.

 

[orochi91]

Except, that's how a lot of ISIS members got into the country, amongst the refugees, asking for asylum.

Bold claim, particularly the "a lot" part.

 

[Omega Kirby]

God, this is fucked up. This circle of resentment and violence is never going to end.

Thus is human nature, sadly.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

My friend is holed up in an apartment.

She saw everything. People getting killed around her. She was right in the middle

She got in someone's car and shes holed up there. Fucking unbelievable.

Man, that's a terrible thing to see. I hope your friend is OK.

 

[iceagecoming]

Fuck 40+ dead. That's fucking horrible. Fuck this world.



Yup. And we still don't know that this is isis (or even islamists at all) in the first place

Aljazeera did report how the attackers were yelling 'alluah ackabar' and 'this is for syria', you really have doubts?

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Not really. They want us to stop bombing them in syria. They don't care about refugees or muslims in the west.

You think they'll stop this if we forgot about Syria? What's france done to syria?

Terrorists like this have no goal aside from instilling fear in people. They are the ones killing people in syria and now killing people in paris.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

TL;DR: Dozens dead and injured in Seven Parisian shootings and suicide bomb. Hostage situation in the Bataclan theatre over. Paris curfew. /u/Stereo

[Matt_]

Yeah, highly unlikely.

The only scenario I can think of is that this was a plan in the works that went into action sooner because of jihadi john. That's the only way I can imagine these two events are in any way connected.

I really don't think Jihadi John would have had any effect on this
just some twat thats had his importance overstated because of his accent

 

[Auctopus]

An exaggeration most likely "dozens and dozens" but still that's terrifying.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Considering there were seven different locations attacked, do we know if it's likely that there were more than two attacks? I'd presume so but I'm hearing nothing on the subject so far.

 

[wild wild rice]

No. Just no.

I have the feeling that this is just the beginning of something even more terrible.

It's been happening and will continue, though I have the same feeling in my gut as you about the immediate future.

 

[Silexx]

This is really petty, but I'm happy our PM didn't use "thoughts and prayers".

Yes he did, actually. And you are being petty.
