I read a german report earlier today that it were Israeli commandos going into the building.

True, not true, I don't know. They would not want to raise high profile over it. Was not mentioned again, AFAIK.

Reports here mention Israeli advisors, but no direct involvement by Israeli troops of any kind.

BBC reckon it's still going on...updated an hour ago:

Looks like the endgame is starting to be played out.

American forces/advisers are on the scene as well as Israelis apparently.

It is an act of terror non the less.
Some sick peoples Ideology strikes again. Let's hope for the best... even if that sounds a little stupid after what, ~70 killed all ready? :-?

Terrible, if you couldn't prove you were Muslim you were shot. Worse, possible American and Canadians part of the terror group.

Any reports on number dead?

See post above yours. Around 70 so far. And there will be more, no doubt. :down:

It could have meant that these guys were just gangsters out to take hostages and take ransom. There was not much info when I wrote that so it was unclear yet whether it was a terror strike or just an "normal" criminal event to make money.

Doesn't seem like its ever going to end.

Slow, steady, methodical. Make them work to your timetable, not you rush to theirs. Close the net slowly and thoroughly, making sure no gaps are made.

It's a tricky environment to work in, a shopping mall, lots of angles, lots of exits and entry points. It'll take a while to sweep it properly. There could still be civilians inside too, which makes it tricky, as well as the possibility of combatants hiding as civilians.

eddie 09-23-13 05:11 PM
You are right Oberon, it will take time. I've seen reports where some of the militants are dressed as women! Also read that when the attack started, a French woman and her daughter were gunned down in a parking lot.:nope:

One things for sure, there will be one huge enquiry at the end of this mess.
