Raids in France kill 2, arrest 7
Early this morning, French authorities raided an apartment looking for Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the mastermind of the attack last week in Paris. According to Fox News, two terrorists were killed and seven arrested. One of the dead was a woman, supposedly Abaaoud’s cousin, with a suicide vest who detonated herself and took out a police dog in the process. Five French police officers were slightly injured in the hour-long gun battle.
Police vans and fire trucks rushed to the scene north of Paris, just over a mile from the Stade de France stadium, which was targeted by three suicide bombers during Friday’s attacks. Riot police cleared people from the streets, pointing guns at curious residents to move them off the roads.
Residents said an initial explosion shook the neighborhood at about 4 a.m. (10 p.m. EST).
“Then there was second big explosion. Then two more explosions. There was an hour of gunfire,” said Baptiste Marie, a 26-year-old independent journalist who lives in the neighborhood.
While the raid was happening, French President Francois Hollande was talking to the country’s mayors about all of the things that he was doing to make his country safe from terrorists. Of course, Hollande ran for President on the promise that he’d get France out of the war against terror, and his first act in office was to announce the early withdrawal of French forces from Afghanistan. You know, just like Obama promised to withdraw from Iraq during his presidential campaign in 2008. You could call their current situation karma or irony, except that both were totally predictable.
The Wall Street Journal reports that France now wants some sort of Grand Alliance with the US and Russia, but I think it’s not in the cards at this point. All three have frittered away the opportunity to end the Syrian civil war, which is at the root of the existence of ISIS, lest we forget. France and the US want Assad out, while Russia is hoping to keep him on his throne.
In related news, two Air France flights from the US to France were diverted due to bomb threats. Neither bomb threat turned out to be true, however.

Too bad it wasn’t “Kill 9, Arrest 0”
Yeah, “read them their rights”; “You have the right to remain dead. Anything you would have said doesn’t matter now. You have the right to be buried in pig shit”.
I’m glad they took this guys alive. As much as I long to see them dead, its what they want to. Ship these fuckers off to a black site and find out what they know. Feed them pork for the rest of their lives and let them watch their beloved caliphate fall.
It’s very strange that the United States and Britain have been bombing Isis for years, and none of their passenger planes were blown out of the sky and suddenly we have this Paris attack, and now it’s become a new war on terror I suppose they need a way to worm themselves back into Syria
Please, please tell me this isn’t a truther post.
Good that they got more scuut of the gene pool.
A little off topic, but not unrelated; I wonder if France will now quit with their active resistance to Israel’s responses to terrorists? In the past, France has been on point denouncing every Israeli response to terrorist attacks against them, whether it’s flattening homes of terrorists or actively attacking terrorists in Southern Lebanon. Now that Europe is getting a taste of what happens in Israel almost daily; they may understand how the Israelis feel?
^^^^ Excellent point.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud. Nice Mormon boy just minding his own business.
Saw this when I got up. The scrambling will continue until they think they’ve found all the rats in the nest. Then things will settle down to piling up coffee cups at a sidewalk bistro in the Rive Gauche.
Then it will happen again. And again. And again until someone says ‘war’ and means it. And it will happen here, too.
This is not over yet.
You’re all wrong about this, but don’t worry, Lars will be here in a minute to get you straightened out. 😉
It hasn’t been over for decades. Munich ’72 comes to mind.
Probably goes back further than that, if we want to dig deeper.
Lars will be here with a D-Handle shovel to do the digging/making shit up.
THAT back seat car accident in a drive-in theater?
Lars’s Daddy and Sadaam Hussein have one thing in common, BOTH OF THEM should have pulled out early!
Taylor doesn’t seem to know how to “dig” – at least, in the context of “digging up facts”. We know that because he virtually never backs his opinions here with verifiable references.
Well, either that or he’s too lazy to do so – or knows he’s spouting BS and is hoping no one will call him on it. Take your pick.
Oh, come on, you guys! School’s out for the holidays, maybe the semester. Give a prick a break. He has to find some way to waste his time, instead of studying.
“Probably goes back further than that, if we want to dig deeper.”
The year 732 comes to mind.
“One of the dead was a woman, supposedly Abaaoud’s cousin, with a suicide vest who detonated herself and took out a police dog in the process. ”
What was that I heard about “let in women and children as refugees, they are ‘safe'” ?!?!?!? I am the furthest from a bigot, and would love peaceful solution to all the world’s problems, but let’s be real! SMDH.
Poor puppy RIP. :'(
MUSLIMS! One minute they’re screeching about their religion and before you know it, they’re ALL OVER THE PLACE!!
ALLAH PIG POOP! 😀
Muslims. Lars. Liberals. I think they have all said that at one time or another. 😉
I thought the same thing. Poor dog. Good dog. I know they all go to heaven. I wonder if it was a poodle.
Now I’m pissed. The muzzie bitch killed a dog.
I happen to like dogs – this is war!
Damn NbcGuy – you beat me to it. I am “splash out”.
Yet another reason to hate Muslims.
(This is not a joke)
THEY DON’T LIKE DOGS! Fuckers.
The damn things don’t like BACON either, SCREW ‘EM one and all!!
Damn! That brings up another thing that pisses me off. As Chevy would say “to whit”:
It is illegal to mail any pork or pork by products to any APO Address in Afghanstan, by US Postal Regulation.
I did not believe this when I heard it. But APO AE 09311 is the address for FOB Sharana, Afghanistan, and among the restrictions on that ZIP is “H1”.
https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2013/pb22371/html/apo.htm
I guess in the event that Achmed hijacks one of our mail trucks, we don’t want him getting all offended. Fuck Achmed.
That one made me “belly chuckle”, GDC.
I had my wife send me all kinds of pork products when I was in Afghanistan. I waited till I got home to tell her it was illegal. Man was she NOT a happy camper about that.
But hey. No harm, no foul. And, I got my pork rinds.
They don’t like dogs, because unlike cats, dogs piss on any place where they can lift a leg, including your pants, and they don’t bury their shit.
And pork is a deathtrap if you don’t know how to cook it properly. Have you never heard of trichinosis? Look it up. I don’t know if there are still wild hogs in the desert like the peccaries and javelinas here, but they are easily infected by the trichina worm, and pass it on through their meat and feces. Market hogs in the US are raised under sanitation rules to prevent parasite infestations like that.
Did you ever wonder who died first eating improperly cooked pork in the desert?
1. I have seen cats piss all over everything.
2. Familiar with trichinosis. Jews don’t eat pork either, conceivably for the same historic reasons. Raw or undercooked pork makes one susceptible to trichinosis.
3. It has never been my intention to force muslims to eat pork; however, why they (Afghan govt.) prohibit US mail going to US personnel on US Military bases from containing pork and pork by-products is beyond me. Particularly when we are presumably there to keep them (Afghan govt.)from being beheaded by the Taliban. In spite of the ban on pork items being mailed, the DFAC always had plenty of bacon, pork chops, etc. Still scratching me head over that one.
Re: your #1 comment, I’ve seen it, too, but mine don’t dare. Cats generally prefer the litter box, anyway, as long as it’s clean.
Pork products just seem to taste better in a muslim country.
True that. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten more pork than when at JTF-SWA. The Eskan DFAC had it at virtually every chow.
Made a point of ordering pork in country. If they had it I ordered it. Spite is a great spice to pork.
I worked for Vinnell a while back… the OPM Snack bar had a habit of getting a hold of some swine flesh for a while, until a mutawa walked in and saw an infidel eating it… I hate mutawas!
My dog covers his shit, and everything within five feet of it in the vector of his digging. I wonder who the first person to drink beer was.
“France and the US want Assad out, while Russia is hoping to keep him on his throne.”
Also, Iran has Quds forces fighting in support of Assad. And I think Iraq Shia Militia has been fighting alongside the Quds guys in Syria, in support of Assad.
…and lets not forget about the Hezbollah troops fighting in support of the Assad regime as well.
That’s a damn shame about the police dog…..
Agreed that the police dog should not have had to die for that bitch. But guess who will meet her at the gates of Hell?
Good looking Belgian Malinois – Diesel was his name:
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/620250/Paris-terror-attacks-raid-dog-Diesel-killed-Islamic-State-ISIS
Prayers for his handler and those that went into harms way last night…five officers were injured in the raid.
If they name a commemorative wine in honor of that dog, is it
Vin Diesel ?
Hopefully the French don’t apologize to the Islamists like our shit head FBI did in a Michigan raid in which the scum killed the same breed of police dog.
