Shootouts and explosions in Paris

[Maximus]

There were apparently 3 simultaneous attacks in Paris at different locations.

A restaurant shooting...18 dead.

A bar outside of a soccer match the President was attending...2 suicide bombings.

A concert hall...60 hostages taken.

Organized crime?

Organized crime?

I'm guessing the "religion of peace".

30 dead now...

A California band was playing called Eagles of Death...over 100 hostages they are saying now.

Here was a pic before the attack...

That's the Queens of the Stone Age's front man's side band. Eagles of Death Metal, I.e., 'what would it sound like if we crossed The Eagles with death metal?'

I'm really worried they have a bigger follow up attack planned. This is premeditated and coordinated by probably dozens of people. 100 hostages at a concert? Does anyone think that the hostages plan on leaving alive or letting anyone leave alive?

 

[macbdog]

I think the other stuff may have been a diversion from the bigger target of the concert club. At this point Paris is on alert.

CNN now says at least 60 dead

Rumor is another attack allegedly just happened at a shopping mall...

I think you jumped to conclusions in the culprits, Max:

From the latest AP article:

The attack comes as France has heightened security measures ahead of a major global climate conference that starts in two weeks, out of fear of violent protests

This is just a climate change protest maybe?

Allegedly the hostage takers yelled "It's for Syria" and "Allah Akbar".

Can't wait for Obama to give his verbal slap on the hand. When is enough enough?

Now they are reporting 3 other active shooting locations.
