Can somebody pass me the link with the video from the kosher market? Apparently some journalist put himself in danger to take some rather impressive footage, but I can't find it for the life in me.

In these terrible hours, this might give you a smile
Man you never really notice how CGey CG actually looks until you compare it with real life directly.
OT: Where did this second hostage situation come from? Not the same gunmen?
This would be a 3rd incident??

The media is doing the report-every-rumor-bullshit again it seems.
You really think this is the only terrorist cell operating and being active in Europe?
If so... We should just end the discussion. Let's agree to disagree. I said it's about prevention and that's what I meant.
I am no way trying to derail or cause an argument on this thread so please if anyone wish to discuss this matter then please inbox me as I will not reply backI waited months for my neogaf account to be given the green light so will not lose it over something stupid
Then:
Are you kidding me?
-------------------------------
So has the hostage situation in the kosher market resolved? I can't really watch anything but someone posted something about a surrender.
Unconfirmed reports. Apparently being evacuated now.

Yes, the morning after the attack, a city policewoman was shot in the back while she was taking care of a minor accident in the south of Paris. Apparently her attacker is linked to the killers of Charlie Hebdo, and is now the one taking hostages in the grocery.
Given what special forces are involved Walking Dead may be an appropriate title for these terrorists right now. Although I still hope that everyone get out this alive if that means that every hostage gets out alive too. But that hope is faint :/In these terrible hours, this might give you a smile
Female police officer was shot yesterday. Police didn't know if it was tied to Wednesday's shooting. It's been confirmed that the shooter is indeed tied to Wednesday's shooters.
The idea of "terrorist cells" is a bit wrong to me personally. It's a term introduced by the US news channels (sleeping terrorist cells) - while it's mostly unrelated activists that follow the same ideology.
5 crazy people can do a lot of damage, without needing to be an organised "cell" of a big network.
Adam curtis's power of nightmares shows this quite well (and gives a good background about the birth of moslim extremism)

Camera showing a shot from a phone, truly a new day.
May be just security being edgy.

Oh, FFS.
You talking about post 9/11? I'm sure there have been attacks that have been in tandem with each other but not on as large a scale. This also smells like wave based plot to keep hitting at different vectors.

That's one of the principles of terrorism... They weren't many more directly involved the 9/11 to cause even more mayhem. Open fire in a crowded place and you can kill far more than a dozen persons, unfortunately.

I would be surprised if any of this was planned to be honest, or even if it was (say another incident) this mornings chase probably brought things forward or opened up a window of opportunity.
The two in the grocery store might have just seized the oppurtunity knowing full well virtually all attention was on the brothers as was the police resources, that being the case they would face lighter resistence in town.
I doubt any of them expect to get out of this alive after the original incident so they may just be taking whatever opportunity they get for maximum exposure and impact. All of them getting caught is some what inevitable, this way however they do this on their own terms as opposed to being cornered somewhere and unable to strike out further. This way they get to basically extend their offensive. The main objective of any terrorist is maximum exposure and they are certainly going to get it.
Right, but terrorism been active since then, but mostly isolated attacks as far as I know.
What the shit? Another!?

It would be the fourth if it's real.
Luckily (I guess?) organizing 20-30 simultaneous attacks would be incredibly hard in even more destabilized countries, much less France or Britain or the US... it is a scary thought though.
I was thinking the very same thing... when does it become an invasion.

I know the situation isn't funny but I just heard that Bashar Al Assad sent a warning to the Syrian citizens from traveling to France because of terrorism for their own safety and wellbeing.
This is turning into a dark comedy.

BBC still saying two people have been killed at the grocery store.
No official source says that.
Sometimes I really wonder whether in these situations journals/TV just completely make shit up so that in case it happens, they "had it first".

Holy shit, this is some Call of Duty fantasy level stuff going on. What in the actual fuck please? Paris is a war zone now.

Reporter on Sky making the point that the brothers haven't killed any ''civilian'' yet, may play a part as to whether police will risk a raid or try to negotiate longer.
Third simultaneous incident.

hopefully safety measure. It's being evacuated.
Dutch reports that the Trocadero incident involves a gunman. http://www.nu.nl/aanslag-parijs/396...aande-in-parijs-klopjacht-daders-aanslag.html
Well i'm French but i live outside of the country. I havn't been sleeping much the last 2 days and the tension is almost unbearable ... so I need to blow off steam a bit ...
There is a second hostage situation. From what we know it's the guy who killed a policewoman yesterday. He's a friend of the terrorist brothers and there's a woman who's helping him.
I hope too ... But i can't say i'm very optimistic ...
