In Paris, Terrorists Kill 2 More, Take At Least 7 Hostages
As reported by The Daily Beast, news on the ongoing terror attack (or attacks) in Paris. Chérif and Saïd Kouachi, who are accused of slaughtering 12 in an attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine, have been cornered by hundreds of security officials close to Charles de Gaulle Airport, north of Paris. Officials say they believe the heavily armed brothers are holding one hostage.
Twenty miles south, in the east of the city, at least one gunman is believed to have taken six hostages at a Jewish store. Police suspect that the third gunman is the same man who shot and killed a policewoman on Thursday morning before escaping in a bulletproof vest. Update: 01/09 17:44 GMT by T : And now all three of the gunmen involved in today's hostage taking are dead.
Watch this space for updates.
Update: 01/09 17:15 GMT by T : CNN's story features a stream of updates (and an autoplaying video ad to beware), as does The Telegraph. Latest news is that brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi have been killed by police, but it's unclear whether the same is true of the third hostage-taker.
before escaping in a bulletproof vest.
because it's rather impressive that one of the terrorists made a makeshift vehicle using only a bulletproof vest.
I'm glad karma took the quick route for once. For islamic fundamentalists to die in a kosher store and in a printing press after attacking a magazine. Can't beat that.
That stuff isn't always fact-checked or verified. What you get with /. is the second-to-none integrity of the information that's provided.
Second-to-none, as in it's the literally the second option in terms of integrity, with "none" as the better option? :p
whoosh
That's one fast vest!
WTF is a "Majorities"?!? 51% + 51% = 102% is a "majorities". Do you even math, bro?
Yeah, because everyone with a fucking grievance grabs an AK-47 and shoots up a magazine don't they love?
Just what the hell does it take to knock some common sense into these bloody liberals??
Irony: right-wingers complaining about left-wingers painting them as violent lunatics and then threatening them with violence.
Of course, in the interest of literal correctness, you didn't threaten to shoot them up with an AK-47. So it's grazing irony, not center-of-mass double-tap irony.
Yeah, the AK-47 is a communist gun and it yet has become one of the most popular firearms of the American right wing. At the last count 2nd. amendment loving American civilians were buying as many AK47s as the Russian military and police combined. Irony abounds....

THANK GOD!!!
Nonsense. I've had leaders of at least three major Christian sects tell me that the bible is the literal word of god, written down by divinely inspired men. Including the pornographic poem in the middle of it.
Great. Now I have to go read the bible.
Or at least the middle of it.
