Possible terrorist attack in France

[DoctorTwo]

BBC link here. I'm watching on RT as for some reason none of my BBC channels are working. The link says it's in Lyon, RT reports it's Grenoble.

how awful

Really horrible. I hope those responsible are brought to justice.

Sorry, my BBC channels aren't working.

From the information I'm getting from RT and a quick online browse one man has been killed and one is under arrest.

Now saying that several others are injured.

On sky one man beheaded in Grenoble. Tragic.

Bloody nutters

Just switched to Aljazeera and they're reporting a bomb in a Shia mosque in Kuwait City.

I've seen reports of an attack on tourists in Tunisia too with several deaths

There seem to be three things going on?

An attack on two hotels

A bomb at a mosque in Kuwait

And the French gas plant?

:(

It's now being reported that there is at least 19 dead in Tunisia.

What the hell is going on

Oh god. This is awful.

There is a well-known rise in violence during ramadan (inc within muslim states, ie muslin on muslim violence).

Islamic state flag found at the scene in France and shot terrorist had scriptures from the Koran on him.

Are they breeding these nutters somewhere? They seem to be multiplying, and achieving precisely FA except turning people against Islam. Or is that the point?

BBC have now tweeted 27 dead in Tunisia.

That's what ITV is reporting too tribpot, plus one gunman dead and another on the loose.

It's so awful :( A terrible day.

It just seems insane, and appears to be escalating, I can't get my head around it :(

The holy (fasting) month of Ramadan has just started and some top knob in ISIS has called on followers to attack soft targets during the lunar month to mark the one year anniversary of their new caliphate - so it is therefore likely there will be more to come in the weeks ahead.

Fucks sake.
Just what we need when Ramadan is contentious already, an associate burst of violence.

OMG horrific, 27 dead in Tunisia, reports saying mainly British and German tourists. 28 dead in a mosque in Kuwait.

It's horrific and it seems that at the Kuwait and Tunisia attacks are connected to ISIS, I don't know if ISIS specifically is connected to the attack in France? The whole Middle East seems to be going up in flames due to this evil death cult. I honestly can only see this ending with full blown war between the west and the future ISIS controlled Middle East territories. I apologise for my unsophisticated conclusion, I know I'm rather lumping together the various countries in the middle East and it's a more complex than that but I don't se how else this can end.

Your conclusion as valid given the rise of isis.
The Saudis fund isis and are also close allies to the usa, which has prevented intervention so far, but the special bond is weakening.

All we need is russia involved and WW3 awaits.

Good work Bush/Blair.

"I honestly can only see this ending with full blown war between the west and the future ISIS controlled Middle East territories. I apologise for my unsophisticated conclusion,..."

It is fairly clear that ISIS as is, never mind larger, means that their extreme Islamist ideology will not just stay within their new Caliphate - so there will be a constant threat to everyone that could strike at any time.

Talk of war is not unsophisticated as we've gone into countries for far less (lol), but EVEN if we had the appetite for it, the fact is ISIS's Caliphate straddles Iraq and Syria; the former does not want western troops in again, the latter (Assad of Syria) being propped up by western boots on ground is hardly better for the people of Syria once we leave.

Similar to Afghanistan we could say that we should not let them have a base from which to attack, but I suspect that like a Hydra, they now have organised tentacles in other States.

Conclusion; we can only step up what we are currently doing and unofficially get the Special Forces of several countries taking out various ISIS targets within their 'homeland' and ANYWHERE outside. IMO
