Paris Attacks

Considering that real people are dying quite possibly right now, I would suggest that you kindly fyck off to a less reputable part of the internet or learn some manners and/or basic empathy.

Percolating its way around the internets is this:



Quite like it.

Being reported that the lovely people who did this thing constituted a 'self-contained cell' (these are the exact words being used) that had been to (and returned from o/c) Syria together.

Anyone who wants to troll can GTFO or DIAF. Thanks.

Many updates today. Here are a few:

1. A presumed getaway car has been found; it contains several AK-47s. It is being speculated that, therefore, some of the terrorists got away and are at large.

2. There are (like right now) reports coming in of an international arrest warrant for an individual in direct connect to the attacks.

3. The identity of one of the terrorists (a French national identified almost immediately due to fingerprint records: seems he had a record as a petty criminal) has been officially confirmed and a bunch of people associated with him have been arrested.

4. Two deceased terrorists are said to have been French nationals living in Belgium. Some people have been arrested there as well.

5. Media reports (so this is the usual unconfirmed careful-now stuff) suggest that three of those involved were brothers.

6. The Egyptian passport found at one of the scenes apparently belonged to a victim (alive but critically injured) not to one of the terrorists.

Here's an important issue that has not been mentioned much but which you have to hope the relevant authorities are looking seriously at: where did they get their weapons from? Even in a state as dysfunctional as Belgium you can't just go out and buy an AK-47.

Can't you troll elsewhere?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Why don't you discuss that issue in a relevant thread instead of this one?

The target of the operation was Abdelhamid Abaaoud who turns out not to have been in Syria at all.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Its what they're saying on the news.

(edit: ah but this could be a comprehension issue: I mean 'turns out not to have been in Syria right now not ever')

Well that such an area could develop (are there equivalents anywhere else in Europe? Like in terms of sheer concentration of membership of Islamist terrorist organisations? I don't believe so) might be considered a sign of failed state status, perhaps.
