The tense atmosphere has become more tense with the breaking news shown below. Difficult to feel comfortable here at the moment, just hope they have captured them for now! Paris attacks: Saint-Denis suspects 'planned terrorist attacks in La Defense business district' The suspected Islamic State (Isis) militants holed up in an apartment in northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis following a raid by French special police had planned to carry out an attack on La Defense district in Paris, according to multiple sources. A source close to the investigation told Reuters that La Defense, a major business district located west of Paris, was the target of a new terrorist operation by the IS militants after the 13 November attacks in Paris that left 129 dead. Other police sources confirmed the intelligence to France 24 and France Info TV.
Stay safe, Mark, and please keep us updated with regards to yourself, your family, friends and work colleagues.
I think most of the civilised world are gonna have to be careful now. Very scary times, all because one persons imaginary god is believed to be better than another persons imaginary god. Frightening.
Thankfully, on train. Really happy to be soon safely at home this evening with my family. The faces of people tell their own story of the anxiety here. Thanks for listening! Mark
I hope you and yours will be safe fella I just cannot get my head around why they are doing this... I totally cannot get it. Surely they know that they will never achieve the goal they seem to be looking for. The message they are putting out is about the evil Western World and the Bible based religion it seems to support... do they not realise that there are quite a few other religions on this planet that they seem to ignore and if you combine all the other beliefs then they dwarf the believers in both Islaam and the Religions based on the Bible. I notice they do not go and set of bombs/terror attacks in countries like China or Korea and their religions are mostly nowt to do with either Islaam or Christianity ... they will not do that because they know that the Chinese and the Koreans would not **** about , they WOULD press a button and issue them a 'Bucket of Sunshine'. There are a lot of Muslim people out in the world right now who will be feeling ashamed, sickened and frightened too... frightened for repercussion. The political parties like BNP etc will be licking their lips right now... best recruitment advert for a long time for those AssHoles.
Re: I hope you and yours will be safe fella Just read this thread and had a shiver down my spine. I don't know you Paristkye, but I really wish you and your family all the luck in the world. Unfortunately luck is the best we can all hope for (wrong place, wrong time) Please keep safe.
