Initial reports say that 4-6 people are being held by men armed with knives.

France and Germany seem to be popular targets at the moment...

Both assailants killed by police.

One victim (a priest) is dead, and another in critical condition.

Given that there are apparently multiple assailants, this would suggest a more coordinated attack than some of the attacks we have seen in recent days.

I've had CNN on for an hour and they haven't reported on this at ALL.

It's astounding. I've been having to look online for all news. What kind of country has the US become? It used to be that you could turn on the d*mn TV and trust that the news was relatively correct. Now I might as well be watching Melrose Place.

This stuff can not keep happening, there must be a solution. We must fight back.

Never rely on CNN.

BTW, the French church attack is the top story on Google News.

IS claimed this one

RIP, priest

They had also claimed the bombing in Germany, this is pretty nuts it's almost every day now.

Yeah, they clained it, but all tge attacks in germany tge last 10 days or so were individual guys with mental issues.
I mean, the bombing in ansbach... The guy wanted to bomb a music festival, but had no ticket and wasn't admitted.
So he walked away, and then decided to still go with the plan somehow.

Imagine. His plan didn't work out, and instead of bliwing up the queue, he walked away and thought about what to now.
That's how unorganized he was.
All it took for this guy to blow himself up without killing anyone was a bouncer telling him he needs a ticket.
And the guy was so confused, he didn't immediately blow up the bouncer....
Munich was a high school shooting, and the teain attack before that was even poorer thought through. These guys aren't organized terrorists, but mentally ill young men latching onto ... Something, anything.


The french attacks are something different entirely. There's more people involved, they are planned and far more effective.

It is pretty much people setting each other off in the last few months. ISIS can just sit back and claim credit with little or no risk to themselves.

Isis is a franchise.

If they have contact with someone online then that's contact that cannot be discredited, these jihadis have mastered the internet and how to communicate to each other anonymously and even when we do catch them the threat is not taken seriously! This guy in France was wearing an ankle bracelet for attempting to enter Syria to fight for ISIS, can you believe that! Traitors in war like this should be dealt with the way traitors ought to be dealt with, not given house arrest and a slap on the wrist!

Exactly correct. All they have to do is run their propaganda machine over the internet and any muslim having a mental breakdown can play "suicide by cop" take out a few hundred civilians in the process and ISIS can put up their hand and take the credit...
