Sad sad news. Very tough year for France.
Possible retaliation for JJ?

I'm willing to hazard a guess at the religion of those behind it

Too early to say but it is beginning to look like it. Very sad. Horrible feeling this will end up as utter carnage.

Why France? Not as good security as us or USA?

Probably easier to get automatic weapons and explosives there and with a sizeable immigrant population so they wouldn't stand out.

[Charlie1986]

soon there will be 60,000+ leaving the ground so hopefully no further attacks will happen.

Large Muslim population from places like Algeria too.

Live pictures showing what looks like a GIGN QRF kitting up so hopefully they will secure the area.

regrettably I'd be shocked if it wasn't a certain demographic. Doing their best to ferment religious/civil war/disturbance

[The jiffle king]

Skynews saying that the French Police reporting 11 fatalities not 18. Clearly that number might change
