File under: al-Qaeda

#1 Sounds like excellent SWAT work.

Dead perps and live hostages.

#2 From the CBS link: Both were also on the U.S. no-fly list, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official said. The American officials also spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss foreign intelligence publicly.

It would be most interesting to discover how these fellows came to be on the U.S. no-fly list. I suspect an old Anwar al Awalaki linkage of some kind.

#4 Now, suppose these fellows just suicide boomed instead of using kalashnikovs & trying to run...

#5 This needs much additional investigation:

The timing of the attack, during the newspaper’s hourlong weekly editorial meeting, indicates the attackers knew the editorial schedule of the newspaper and knew it was the one hour of the workweek where all the top editors and cartoonists would be present in one room. And the attackers were able to overcome significant security procedures for a newspaper that was known to be a target and had been firebombed in 2011, including at least one armed police officer assigned to protect the editor because of previous threats.

#6 Gee. Look at all those military-age Muslime extremist lone-wolves working together. Nothing to see here, folks.

#7 I suggest a three-strikes-model for mosques.

First strike: Hate speech of an imam. Issue a warning and a hefty fine. Imam banned from further preaching.

Second strike: Another hate speech of an imam. If it's the same imam, he and is family get shipped back to their country of origin within 24 hours. Triple the fine of the mosque, with a final warning.

Third strike: Close the mosque permanently. Seize all assets.

#8 Some great from Bus Insider. Does NOT look like the French police were in any mood for BS. Nice Ruger Mini-14's BTW.

#10 In a way I had wished that they would be captured alive so they could be guillotined.

Now they are just "martyrs".

#11 For the Mosques:

Bulldoze them and turn them into public toilets.

#13 After Australia and now France experienced more terror in only a matter of weeks, I concur with what a talking head said yesterday, "Multi-culturalists are destroying civilization."

With the Jewish people in Paris targeted, it would be interesting to see what Israel's response will be. I suggest more settlements regardless of how our first Muslim President feels about that.

#14 Good thing Mini-14s aren't assault rifles or I couldn't own mine in California. But it has a wood stock and uses 10rd mags, so its not dangerous.

#15

Police say Hayat Boumeddiene assisted her husband in taking over the grocery in Paris but somehow escaped before officers moved in. She's now the subject of a manhunt.

#16 And now another hostage situation in Montpellier in southern France, which no one seems to be reporting on.

#18 I watched the ABC news report on this. They wondered why all these terrorists attacks were occurring. They just could not figure it out. They even reported that one of the terrorist send they were defenders of the prophet. And now her and never did they say the one word that linked all this together.

ISLAM

It was kind of funny how they twisted themselves around so they would not. Gave to say that one word.

Reminded me of a SNL skid where they did the same thing. Also reminded me of how they did the exact same thing during Beslan where ISLAM IT terrorist took over that school in Russia.

...twisted themselves around so they would not have to say that one word.
