This has been up at least 45 seconds, how long before dozens suggest that it’s ROP’ers.
Not that they’re wrong or anything. Some things are so predictable, it just don’t need to be said anymore...
I thought the ROP was slacking today. But, as usual, they are on the job.
I remember when a bus load of German tourists were taken over in Egypt years ago and all were killed.
Hope they stay safe.

Welcome to islamic brutality. Who is next? We keep letting muzzies into our country, so I guess we are asking for it.
North Africans? I did not know the Amish lived in North Africa./Sarcasm on.
Means they are almost certainly muzzies.
Europe pinglist.
Well, when I first saw the headline on Drudge, I thought it might conceivably be the Red Brigades. But it’s been some time since they seemed to have gone out of business.
The Mafia is all business, and it’s hard to see why they would hijack a bus full of tourists. They want money, not celebrity.
That pretty much leaves it to Muslims, which evidently is what this is. At a guess, 99% of “North Africans” are Muslims.

Are they planning to drive it into a skyscraper?
Those damn Amish need to end their attacks on modern methods of transportation!
