CNN
Paris prosecutor: 5 suspected attackers "neutralized"

Does that mean killed or captured?

 

[SubiyaCryolite]

Though I get your point, ISIS use civilians in the lands they control as a shield to prevent attacks.

Nigeria is not under ISIS control, dafaq

 

[pyros]

RIP, tragic turn of events,

Vive la France

 

[Maninthemirror]

Isis is run by oil and caliphate. Where will baghdadi run? Wherever he runs he dies, kill him and the concept of caliphate there is over and you have done 30% or the job

Then kill the militants

That does 80% of the job

Then kill them where the rest hide

Look at al Qaeda now, they are limping trying to survive, bring Isis to that level

 

[Dr.Acula]

I don't like war, but if there ever was a justification it's when the world is faced with an existential threat that cannot be reasoned with by any other means.

Sure, let's just find the president of ISIS* in the ISIS capital, and put sanctions on the ISIS government.

As much as I'd love to simply "attack ISIS" I don't think there's any way to. They're a loose network of cells that operate all over the world. How do you go to war with "that?"

 

[Alpha Phoenix]

Do we know anything about the attackers yet?

 

[KAP151]

Does that mean killed or captured?

Dead, id assume.

 

[Downhome]

Fox News are also now reporting that there are "numerous" armed terrorists on the run, free, in the streets of Paris right now.

 

[LiK]

Does that mean killed or captured?

Killed

 

[Slaythe]

Paris gaf here. It happened in my street.

Shit is unreal.

Some terrorists are on the run. Police told us to stay inside at all costs for next day until they get a better hold of the situation.

Meanwhile in New York, police said they have bolstered security at several high-profile locations in response to the attacks in Paris, including counterterrorism officers sent to tourist-heavy areas and the French consulate in midtown Manhattan, according to Reuters.

“Teams have been dispatched to crowded areas around the city out of an abundance of caution to provide police presence and public reassurance as we follow the developing situation overseas,” the NYPD said in a statement. Officers have been deployed to other French government locations in the city, and NYPD intelligence bureau officers in France are assisting Paris police “in any way possible”.

[Zepp Twofist]

Jeez. Haven't been following this shit at all. Just saw it now and is drunk off my ass. Can't imagine what this shit will lead to. Don't know what to say.

 

[fertygo]

RIP. Frigging terrible.

France should really up their security and intel, Charlie Hebdo isn't even that long ago.

Fuck those terrorist

 

[marrec]

Nigeria is not under ISIS control, dafaq

Neither is Egypt, that map is fucked.

 

[deefol]

Though I get your point, ISIS use civilians in the lands they control as a shield to prevent attacks.

Since when was Nigeria under ISIS control

 

[hwy_61]

I need a drink.

motherfucker.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Man, this is really chilling to read. When I initially read this there were like 7 confirmed deaths. Sickening to think of the planning that went into this.

My thoughts and condolences to the people of France.

 

[Harmen]

Truly at a loss for words, what a nightmare.

 

[TheZink]

Geraldo just had a pretty emotional moment on Fox News with his daughter on the phone, who was in the stadium at the time of the attacks.

That was tough to watch. I feel for him.

 

[teepo]

my ex knows someone who was attending the concert, a person i never meet but have heard a lot about her for the past five years. she was held hostage in a small room in the backstage area with a few others. no word on how she managed to survive

and apparently there was also 60 people or so hiding on the roof which they accessed through a ceiling in the backstage area.

none of this is confirmed but i still feel like throwing up

 

[Pancake Mix]

Does that mean killed or captured?

The cell killed over 100 people and almost certainly also shot at officers...

I'm going to say likely killed.

 

[Bossun]

Do we know anything about the attackers yet?

Yeah very young, speaking french, witnesses have heard them say " For Syria" and "allah ackbar" though no confirmation if they truly said that.
Wearing explosives vests, two of them detonated them in the bataclan...

 

[Renekton]

Has it been confirmed to be ISIS?

 

[wild wild rice]

Dead, id assume.

Killed

OK thanks. Makes sense, wasn't sure.

 

[MIMIC]

Does that mean killed or captured?

Eh....I have no idea. I was gonna say "killed", but I was watching the TV on mute so I just wrote it verbatim

 

[SPEEDxNASTY]

France Gaf here, stay strong bro.

They aren't, though. They're much closer to a traditional state than, for example, al queda is.

 

[The Shapesmith]

France-Gaf I hope and pray you all remain safe thru this trying time.

 

[C0unter]

What a stupid image, countires under ISIS countrol? What a load of fear mongering crap.
Please stop linking terrible false images made by some some click bait site.

 

[Scrooged]

It says 'Areas under control'. Meaning there are areas within those countries. Not the entire country...

 

[NullPointer]

The Guardian.

I'd guess there are quite a few cities on overwatch right now. This Mumbai kind of attack can happen anywhere.

 

[Koren]

Does that mean killed or captured?

Killed in this case at least.

Would like to know how many are still on the run.

Like all parisian schools/universities, mine is closed tomorrow for safety reasons. Monday will probably feel strange...

 

[segasonic]

Post more details plz. Are you alright?

 

[M52B28]

The Guardian.

I relayed this information to my friend earlier on. He's on a trip in NY.

I don't think he has a clue as to what has happened in Paris.

 

[SpyGuy239]

More Here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...ooting-attacks.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur

This is nuts. I lived in Europe for the last 6 years and I can't believe this is happening in Paris. I fear it is only going to get worse now with the influx of refugees ):

 

[orochi91]

Though I get your point, ISIS use civilians in the lands they control as a shield to prevent attacks.

What are you on about?

ISIS doesn't control anything of significance outside portions of Syria and Iraq.

 

[Linkyn]

Nigeria is not under ISIS control, dafaq

I believe it is included because of ongoing Boko Haram activity, who pledged allegiance to ISIS earlier this year. Control is definitely overstating it, though.

 

[Downhome]

That was tough to watch. I feel for him.

Yeah really. Then right after is when they said other attackers were on the lose in Paris and he started begging her to not go outside, do not talk to strangers, and to just stay right where she is.

Ugh, I can't even imagine.

 

[Zabant]

See let me make it simple

They use language which is far from moderate but they call themselves moderate

You agree they are moderate

You tell gaf I don't know about you but these are moderates beczuse they say they are

You are misinforming people because you fall so easily for their words as facts.

Yes they call themselves moderates you and I agree they do. But do you actually consider their words as one a moderate Muslim would use or do you think those are words a radicalist would use

Yes, I consider their words as one of moderate muslims.

I would consider people who do not believe what they do 'Muslims who reject Islamic teachings' or more simply 'Non-Devout Muslims'

 

[KAP151]

Man, this is really chilling to read. When I initially read this there were like 7 confirmed deaths. Sickening to think of the planning that went into this.

My thoughts and condolences to the people of France.

Just be thankful that the 2 assholes with the explosive vests didnt detonate at the end of the football game, like originally planned. The death toll would of been a hell of a lot worse.

 

[wild wild rice]

The cell killed over 100 people and almost certainly also shot at officers, what do you think happened?

Just hope that a capture would lead to more information, but this may not correlate with the reality of these situations.

 

[psynergylover]

Geraldo just had a pretty emotional moment on Fox News with his daughter on the phone, who was in the stadium at the time of the attacks.

yeah that was impactful, say what you will about Fox news political views, but at the end of the day they have family as well, and Geraldo could've lost his daughter today(she was at the soccer game)

stay safe brother

 

[MIMIC]

Has it been confirmed to be ISIS?

Last time anyone addressed this, CNN said that there hadn't been a formal claim of responsibility yet.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Neither is Egypt, that map is fucked.

I mean, they and other extremists do control some territory in those nations, but normally like, corner regions or loosely linked villages, towns and cities because desert. Not really 'they control the country'.

Edit: Wait what the fuck I just noticed South East Asia in there.

 

[Majine]

Though I get your point, ISIS use civilians in the lands they control as a shield to prevent attacks.

Holy shit, what is this garbage picture?

 

[deefol]

It says 'Areas under control'. Meaning there are areas within those countries. Not the entire country...

There is no ISIS presence whatsover in Nigeria tho, there's Boko Haram however

 

[Doffen]

Since when was Nigeria under ISIS control

Haven't paid full attention but weren't there talk about close connection between Boko Haram and ISIS?

 

[C0unter]

It says 'Areas under control'. Meaning there are areas within those countries. Not the entire country...

Still false.

 

[Maninthemirror]

Yes, I consider their words as one of moderate muslims.

Im devout....
