has anybody admitted responsibility?

has anybody admitted responsibility?

nobody has mentioned anything, but Hollande "has no doubt" who did this. Most likely al Qaeda or IS

media reports that the assault on the concert hall is over, two terrorists dead.

imagine something like this would happen during the apec summit. the ramifications are unimaginable. one thing is sure though, whatever inroads that we gain politically and economically at home as well as our standing in the international community, we'd be thrown back to the dark ages. we're spending some P10B for this occasion, and the bulk of it is for security. the number of policemen and military personnel deployed to secure this event is staggering. as early as last year we already have started our security preparations. quite interestingly, the samal kidnapping which involves foreign nationals has not figured prominently in the media for obvious reason, that is, we're downplaying it. we don't want to scare people, we need to show to the world we are not a security threat. now, whatever political affiliations we have-- right, left, or center-- we do our country a favor if we stop bickering for a moment, pray or hope that this one will be successful, and, above all, get on with and pardon the temporary inconvenience.
for the good of the country, for the betterment of our children, and our children's children.

BREAKING NEWS: As many as 100 reported dead in Bataclan Paris concert venue: BFM TV

Paris in lockdown.

France has declared a national state of emergency and has closed its borders after scores of people were killed in multiple gun and bomb attacks in Paris.
At least 100 people are reported to have died at the Bataclan concert hall in central Paris.

Gunmen took many hostages there before being overpowered when police stormed the building.

Others died in attacks near the Stade de France, with some reports suggesting a suicide blast, and at restaurants.

Paris residents have been asked to stay indoors and military personnel are being deployed across the city.

Paris in lockdown.

Prayers for the people of France. I'm at a loss for words.

WTF that's the reason the coalition bombed the town of raqqa in Syria yesterday. this islamist jihadi john was there. it must have some connection with the Paris attack.

Makes me wonder what's in the minds of these people. To kill without...

Makes me wonder what's in the mind of these people.

one country's terrorist is another country's freedom fighter. the clichè, ****ing lame.

Death toll is at 149 now

Death toll is at 149 now

CNN reports 153.

Could this have something to do with Jihadi John? He's nowhere near France naman, and it's far too soon for this to be in retaliation for his killing

heard on CNN that both the hostages and terrorists are posting/tweeting on the internet

open border policy backfiring? honestly not surprised this happened. plenty of al qaeda flags openly waved in the streets of europe. but of course it's politically incorrect not to let them in.

[badkuk]

yeah..right or wrong, every country's first priority is to protect its citizens. Expect them to use this as a reason/excuse not to let the refugees in.

Sa France kasi yung isang malupit na neewspaper na lagi tinitira islam. Ayan kapalit imho.

Remember Charlie Hedbo? They should have expected this.

[badkuk]

heard on CNN that the concert hall didn't have any security protocols; people weren't searched or anything. i'm guessing it's very very lax, the terrorists were able to sneak in AK-47's and bomb vests

Paris police has declared that all attackers have been killed; i wouldn't let me guard down just yet, for all we know this is just a diversion.
