Unconfirmed report saying the 3 killers have been identified, two are brothers of Algerian descent. Let's hope they find them soon. |

I doubt they'll be found in France......... they've done their evil and run off. |

There are 5 million muslims in France of whom 90% are from Algeria. Wow that's a lot to go on. |

........which is why, when terrorists attack, I wish they'd remove the religious element. |

There are no parallels whatsoever between events in N.I. and the highly fractured French state. You analysis of just about everything is that they "do it to look like men". Nuts. ISIL/Al Queda terrorists do it because they are full of hate and have a very warped idea of religion which is nevertheless their justification. There is nothing new in it. The Wahabi school of Sunni Islam has been running Saudi Arabia since 1923. |

After another shooting in Paris, where a Policewoman has died, and a street cleaner badly injured, they have arrested a suspect, and another is being hunted. What a dreadful time for all those people living and working in Paris :-( |

Once fired, bullets have no say as to who they injure or kill. |

They showed great bravery by being out at vigils last night. |

Not quite Dermot the latest US assault rifle XM25 can fire programmable bullets. No hiding place. Has been working well in Afghanistan. Much cheaper than drone air strikes and much less collateral damage than mortars. Range up to 800m. |
