ISIS is claiming responsibility???


Not yet.

 

I was just thinking the same thing....

in retaliation of the drone strike killing of one of their leaders "Jihadi John," who appeared in several videos depicting the beheadings of Western hostages.

 

 

We'll probably know by the 11:00 news tonite.  CNN is on top of everything.  They appear to always be at the scene of stuff as its happening.  Sometimes, right before it happens!!!! Smiley Surprised

 I wonder if this has to do with us hitting Jihad John in Syria?  If I remember, the last paris attack (the Charlie thing), the 'wife' got away.  Jihad Jane?

Someone reported a suicide bomber but not verified but the French government said that they have identified 400 French nationals who went abroad for terrorist training.  They do state that a fairly large number of people were involved as the three incidents were carefully choreographed and to maximize a large number of fatalities and/or hostages.  Geraldo Rivera's daughter, Simone, was at the soccer game but she is ok.

I just can't imagine taking someone else's life.

 

I just heard 60 confirmed dead now, more to come.
