Two terrorist attacks - France and Canada

Two women killed at Marseille train station in suspected terror attack

Two women were stabbed to death Sunday in a suspected terrorist attack at the Marseille train station in southern France.

The assailant was shot dead by French security forces, Fox News reported.

Police sources told Sky News the attacker shouted "Allahu Akkbar” as he carried out the attack at Gare St. Charles.

One woman had her throat slit and the other was stabbed to death, Fox News has learned.

The attacker was believed to be a man in his late twenties and of North African background.

The area around Marseille's central station was sealed off following the attack.

“Operation of ongoing police avoid the sector,” the tweet said in French.

About 40 minutes later police said in a second tweet that the attacker had been "neutralized and shot."

Interior Minister Gerard Collomb tweeted that he was going immediately to the scene "after the attack perpetrated near Saint Charles train station."

The station was evacuated, according to reports.

The station is where four American college students were hospitalized in September after a woman with a history of mental problems attacked them with acid.

Terrorism suspected in Edmonton attack that leaves 5 injured

A police officer was stabbed and at least four people were injured by a speeding U-Haul truck in events that police in Edmonton, Canada, said were being investigated as acts of terror.

One suspect was in custody, said Edmonton Police Chief Rod Knecht, adding that police believe the suspect acted alone.

The chaos began outside Commonwealth Stadium, where a Canadian Football League game was being played. Police say a white Chevy Malibu rammed a traffic-control barricade and sent an officer flying.

Knecht said the driver then got out and attacked the officer with a knife. The officer was stabbed multiple times before the suspect fled on foot, the Edmonton Journal reported.

The officer was not critically wounded, the Globe and Mail reported.

A few hours later, a U-Haul van was stopped at an impaired driving check stop and the driver sped off with police in pursuit.

Police say the U-Haul hit and injured four pedestrians before it rolled and the suspect was arrested.

Saturday's attack began with an incident outside Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium, where a Canadian Football League game was underway.

“There were people flying and everything,” witness Kim Anderson told the Edmonton Journal. “I’m shocked — I just see people flying.”

Knecht confirmed that an ISIS flag was discovered inside the van, the Edmonton Journal reported.

Later, the same suspect was pulled over at a police check stop on Wayne Gretzky Drive, this time driving the U-Haul. The suspect, believed to be 30 years old, drove off when police recognized him as the owner of the Malibu, the newspaper reported.

More likely, the media was told to say that - like they always do.
It's busllshit to think he had no ties to anyone else.

Ignore the man behind the curtain . . . . These are not the droids you are looking for . . . .


But as the Mayor of London has told us, terrorism happens every day, get used to it.

Marseille has always been the 'problem area' for French authorities. They've cleaned it up the last 15-years but, ever since it's colonial days, Marseille was THE rough-n-ready port town. Arms dealing, drug movement, human smuggling...that's Marseille, biggest port on the Med. More surprised there hasn't been many high-profile terror attacks there with it's massive African and Muslim populations.

The first thing I thought about after reading about the Canadian event is I wonder if he was one of the recent immigrants that were welcomed by the PM from the US..

Sadly, this is more than likely.

And still they whine about President Trump's travel restrictions.

Well, it's the first day of Q4. I'm sure they've got quotas like the rest of us.

Suspect in Canada terror attack is Somali refugee, police say

The suspect accused of stabbing a police officer before crashing a speeding U-Haul van into a crowd of people in Edmonton, Canada, had come to the country from Somalia trying to claim refugee status, police revealed.

Officers took the 30-year-old suspect into custody and he apparently acted alone, Edmonton Police Chief Rod Knecht said. Officers said pending charges included terrorism and five counts of attempted murder, but they did not reveal his name.

An Islamic State flag was found in the car that hit the officer, according to Knecht.

The suspect was known to both Edmonton police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Marlin Degrand, assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said the man was flagged in 2015 for extremist ideologies and police interviewed him at the time, but he said charges were not warranted after an "exhaustive investigation." It was not clear when he first traveled to Canada.

"We condemn the cowardly terror attacks on a police officer and pedestrians that occurred late last night in Edmonton, Canada. Law enforcement authorities from the United States are in touch with their Canadian counterparts to offer assistance with the ongoing investigation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, as we hope for their speedy and complete recovery," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters.

Even when we go home to see our relatives, we are treated like first-timers with bones through our collective noses and sacks full of drugs over our shoulders. 'Not clear'? WTF?
