Hopefully this will turn out to be the vile creature they were hunting.

Police hunting the chief suspect in last Thursday's Barcelona van attack have shot dead a man to the west of the city who appeared to be wearing an explosive belt, Spanish media say.
The shooting is said to have happened on a road in the Subirats area.
Earlier, police confirmed they were hunting for Younes Abouyaaqoub, 22, suspected of driving a van into dozens of people on Las Ramblas.
Some Spanish media are reporting Abouyaaqoub is the man killed.
But Spanish police have yet to officially confirm this.

In the night from Friday to Saturday, Libanese army units attacked IS positions near the Libanese-Syrian border with around 600 IS barbars. After they conquered the objectives and drove the IS away, they did this:



If that is the Libanese way of "laying down a marking", then I must say I prefer that way much to the Western way.

A judge in 2015 had stopped the deportation of the murderous Imam behind the latest attacks, saying there was no danger to the public.

Ein Satz mit X? "War wohl nix!"

It strikes the eyes that failed deportations and failed communication procedures get mentioned in several of the latest attacks of the past two years.

And in Germany insiders estimate that at least 2 of 3 Syrians claimign to be Syrians are not Syrian at all. They throw away their passports, claim to be Syrians and then are no "migrants", but "refugees".The SPD integration commissioner,a woman from Turkey or Iran, says she also defends that refugees - not migrants - who are claiming asylum travel back every now and then and make holiday in their homecountry. Well, a refugees who claims asylum, is somebody fleeing from his country becasue there his life would be in danger. I would expect you do not go back to such a place for vacation voluntarily. Not so in German "logic".

None of this happens in Poland, Czech Republic or Hungary. I wonder why...

German terrorism experts got quted with saying that the IS has changed strategy and now calls for terrorist trying to survive instead of committing suicide attacks, so that they can fight on and that the total number of active terrorists grows, also the experience of them shall be used to teach new recruits. What the Germans now fear is, according to some intel information, that they start to use trains as primary attack platforms, instead of vans.

Yeah, I was a little shocked watching this yesterday.....nothing like potentially stacking the odds against yourself

As bad as it sounds Dowly, they were lucky that the bomb didn't go off as it was supposed to. Hearing over here, it didn't fully detonate, still have to feel so sorry for the folks caught in the blast as it was.

Yes, it does seem this one was fortunately as "flamer", not a shrapnel explosive.

My first thoughts when reading about this attack to London Underground was: "Why Parsons Green?" There would have been more passengers onboard if detonation happened at Earl's Court (next interchange station) or even closer to city center.

I'm not complaining though, its wonderful when those bastards plans fail or atleast don't go exactly as planned.

The military will now take up guarding duties in order that more armed police may be drafted into the hunt for these idiots.
