Yes, this is horrible. I suspect radical Islam terrorism, but I guess there is not an official determination yet as to who did it. May the victims rest in peace.
 
They are saying there are 4 locations now, in the attacks, with over 100 hostages taken near the office of Charlie Hebdo, where 11 were killed, in January. No-one has taken responsibility yet.

In reality, how could any police/security force stop such attacks being carried out, in any country. The perpetrators are ‘most likely’ current residents of France.

CNN is reporting the death toll is up to 60 :nope:

It seems this is still ongoing.
 
The Telegraph is quoting BFMTV in France as saying over 60 people have been killed.

Sounds like a fair number of perpetrators must be involved in this, and with good organization.

May they all RIP. God bless the French - this form of terrorism is very frightening, and I would assume extremely difficult to contain, anywhere in the world.
 
Only a suicidal culture would permit mass immigration from countries where significant numbers of the population have clearly stated a desire to subvert or destroy it.

But some of these people are running away from being attacked by their own people. Unfortunately, they become radicalized that they begin to work to join Isis
 
Eagles of Death Metal, an American rock band from Palm Desert, California, were billed to perform this evening at the Bataclan on Boulevard Voltaire, where attackers are now said be holding an estimated 100 hostages.

Whether the band performed or not, and whether the musicians are among the hostages, I have no idea. Nobody seems to be providing this information online.

The band has its own website, www.eaglesofdeathmetal.com, but it seems to be inaccessible at the moment.

France colonized North Africa and I guess Syria and Lebanon too.

So back in the 1960s and so on, I don’t think radical jihadism was much of a perceived problem.
 
That’s a big deal if they set off explosions at a soccer stadium during the France Germany game at the National sports stadium, I’ve just heard this on the radio and haven’t read it, President Hollande I take it was at the soccer game but is safe.

Even a casual reading history over the last 1400 years or so should have illustrated some problems. What Charles Martel put a stop to in 732 was reversed and embraced in the 1960s.
