Indeed, we are at war and we should expect casualties.

We've killed plenty of them, it just doesn't feature in the media like it does when they kill us. I wonder how many Daesh militants were killed in Syria by Allied airstrikes just over the past month? Probably a lot more than 34.

Just in : there is a related emergency-evacuation going on in the nuclear reactor at Tihange, 70 km from Aachen.

They have found photos in past days indicating that some leading staff of Beligian nuclear reactors, which are not guarded by any useful means, was targeted by ISIL, probbaly to get access to the installations.

Sure it may be difficult to pin point the change as it happens. Unfortunately when people today try too, all the arm chair professors of psychiatry start chirping and accuse them of having some kind of phobia or bent towards nazism.

But if you ask me one need only look at world history to see what an uncontrolled flood of a foreign people, no matter how well intentioned, welcomed or not, will eventually do to anothers nations borders and culture.

Makes sense, it's a high value target, and would cause massive amounts of terror if a terrorist so much as sneezed near it. Probably a false alarm though, but never hurts to be careful.

So what...???

Is that really all you can offer here - counting numbers no matter how they came to be...??? You mix victims and perpetrators, intentional mass murder and collateral death. Is this really all you once again come up with, by reflex...???

Man, come to your senses, its really getting disgusting. What is next? Accusing Europe of the crusades once again, and that it dared to once wanting to defend Christians lands from Muslim invasions? Or reminding us that 300 years ago our ancestors still were where they were 300 years ago?

Probably just a scare, everywhere is going to be jumpy after an attack like this. Besides, it takes a lot to damage a nuclear reactor to the point that it would leak dangerous levels of radiation into the surrounding area. Worse case scenario a suicide bomber would just cause the thing to SCRAM and shut down for a few weeks until they repaired it.

We are at war, you said so yourself. We bomb them, and they suicide bomb us. Just because Daesh aren't driving tanks across western europe doesn't make it any more or less a war. Have we become so arrogant to think that wars only happen to other people?

You're the one making a big deal out of an emoticon.

BBC now have the death toll at 31.

I really do appreciate how emotive a subject this is but can we all refrain from having a pop at each other please?

Debate and disagree by all means but try to maintain an acceptable level of respect for one another.

Your world looks very different when this nonsense comes knocking at your front door.

Let's hope this is one isolated incident.
