Paris terrorist news updates
Reuters reports that a man suspected of selling two AK-47s made in China and two Zasatva M70s made in the former Yugoslavia to the ISIS terrorists that attacked Parisians last week was arrested today.
“I can confirm that a man is in custody on suspicion of arms trading,” a spokesman for the prosecutor in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg told Reuters, adding that the arrest had been made on Tuesday.
Earlier on Friday, German newspaper Bild reported that the man was suspected of selling four weapons to the militants who killed 130 people in Paris on Nov. 13.
It is alleged that he sold the guns to the terrorists on the internet – that’s illegal in Germany. It’s also illegal in the United States. I’ve bought weapons on the internet in the past, but I had to go to a dealer and pass the NICS background checks to complete the sale. I guess, criminals don’t have to do that. You’d think they be ashamed of themselves for disobeying the law.
The Belgians were caught without body armor for their troops and police and they had to borrow from US forces stationed in Belgium.
According to The Age, the French have experienced a resurgence of national pride – recruiters are deluged with inquiries from prospective new recruits and retirees who want to get back on the rolls.
Jeremy Moulin had been walking with friends near the Bois de Vincennes in Paris when texts about the terrorist attacks started flashing on his mobile phone. On Monday, 10 days after the mayhem, he went to Fort Neuf to ask how quickly he could be in uniform.
“These attacks motivated me even more to protect my country,” said Mr Moulin, 23, a former legal intern who said he had often thought about joining the army but now is newly determined. “The terrorists struck in the heart of Paris. If we don’t stop them, they will do it again.”
French flags are selling like hotcakes and war porn depicting French air strikes against ISIS is popular on the internet.
Reuters also reports that the terrorist attack only cost ISIS about $7500 initial investment. Terror on the cheap.

See? Attack a country with a cohesive history and voila! Ils sont soldats!
Same thing happened on the heels of 9/11/01.
SOLIDARITE!
Can’t be true, Jonn.
Germany has the kind of gun control our libidiot “brethren” seem to want in the US. Those terrorists couldn’t possibly have bought those weapons from someone in Germany! European gun control is the model!
(Was the sarcasm in the above obvious enough, or does it need a warning/disclaimer?)
Lets send them James Taylor AND Barbara Streisand, that’ll show ISIS!
Coffee expelled through one’s nose hurts. Nice one, kafir
New keyboard…new keyboard. lol
Hmm…super-strict gun control in Belgium that makes Hildebeast moisten her pantsuit, and these fucksticks were still able to procure weapons. These weapons were select-fire automatic rifles with detachable magazines and pistol grips (commonly known as Scary Black Guns), which are illegal in Belgium. They were also manufactured far, far away from Belgium’s borders. It’s illegal for them to import these illegal Scary Black Guns, so pray tell, how did they get there? Surely the law prevented them from being smuggled into some black market dealer’s closet, right?
The obvious answer is that Brussels must pass a new law, making it illegal to illegally smuggle illegal weapons for illegal sale to terrorists. That will fix everything.
And since these Scary Black Guns never, ever touched American hands, surely the Paris attack would have been prevented if only America had European-style gun control. That would absolutely stop the flow of illegal weapons from the Balkans to Belgium!

That “NOT AFRAID” sign dates to the Charlie Hebdo attack. Why it was in English and not Frog is beyond me. The attack killed 12 and, yes, the survivors were very afraid. One cartoonist said she would no longer draw pics of history’s most famous pedophile and quit. Six months after the attack, the editor said that the mag would no again publish a rendering of Mo. So, did the terrorists win? You bet they did. I’m not blaming the magazine or the cartoonist who quit, but “NOT AFRAID” was a fanciful and false sentiment. Al’s Snackbar!
