French magazine publishes controversial cartoons of Prophet Muhammad - many killed in revenge attack

[goldenecitrone]

Here's hoping for three Swiss-cheese martyrs and the freeing of the hostages unharmed.

 

[quiquaquo]

Kouachi brothers have been killed.

 

[gentlegreen]

the brothers dead, hostage safe - bfmtv

 

[The Octagon]

Fair play getting the hostage out alive, I honestly didn't think that was likely.

 

[krink]

i hope the hostage is ok

 

[Cribynkle]

Hostages freed from the Port de Vincennes siege apparently

Au revoir, scumbags.

That's a legal question. French police fond of "percussion grenades" that are allegedly designed to disorient the bad guys with a flash but from time to time blow bits off the innocent...

If I understand right the term "percussion grenade" is very muddy and can refer to anything from a flashbang to an HE/frag grenade with a percussion fuse.

Au revoir

Apt choice of words, I suspect.

Exactly. Like the State of Israel calling a steel ball with a lick of paint a "rubber bullet".

Vague terms can be very useful.

Vague terms can be very useful.

"parliamentary democracy" for example

 

[quiquaquo]

According to La Repubblica the gunman and a hostage died at the supermarket. Sky say everyone fine though.

 

[not-bono-ever]

if these fucks had any style, they would go for a movie style ending for max PR & exposure - more Butch Cassidy that Bonnie & Clyde though

Brothers 'came out firing'
Posted at 16:30

A source to AFP says that the Kouachi brothers "came out firing" on security forces.


um. i was right...

 

[Orang Utan]

Got an idiot friend on FB claiming it was staged cos you don't see any blood in the shooting of the cop. I'm assuming it's cos there's no exit wound but I'm not a ballistics expert

Probably no blood at head wound because of massive blood loss at wound site and low blood pressure that left him incapable of getting away from the cold blooded killer.

Are they also claiming the gun men must have been Israeli as they were light skinned around the eyes?

"Death by cop"

''Death by 50 cops''

I take back my earlier comment regarding the incompetence of the french police.

Edited: BBC now saying 4 hostages now sadly killed.

Pic of hostages being freed. Looks like 5 people, the person over the shoulder of the policeman ran out (just showed them running out on the news) so hopefully they're OK

 

[Treacle Toes]

Why were the police roughing up the hostages so much after they came out?

 

[ffsear]

4 hostages killed at supermarket (confirmed so far)

 

[quiquaquo]

SKY: At least 4 hostages dead.

force of habit
