TOULOUSE, France (AP) - Three explosions were heard near an apartment building in southwest France where a suspected gunman who boasted of shooting seven victims in an al-Qaida-linked terror spree is holed up.
Orange flashes lit up the night sky with each blast near the Toulouse apartment building where police have been surrounding 24-year-old suspect, Mohamed Merah, since a pre-dawn effort to arrest him went awry.

I was just thinking heavy metal. Interspersed with the blasts. Then something really calm...soothing.
BOOM!
That's something I've feared all along...
Yep .. in the end, they’re usually cowards ..
We’ll see if he goes out fighting, or says his
cult-ISM mantras and craving his 72 virgins
and kills himself.

Looks like they’re gearing up to do something...I don’t know what...
But I have GOT to get to bed.
Thanks for ALL of the links, kiddo.

In August of 1968 I was in Paris for 2 days waiting for the charter flight home. That was the summer of the massive French student riots.
For grins and giggles a group of us decided to visit Place Pigalle. What a stinking pit. Like Baltimore's Block but without it's "charm".
Suddenly there was the ooh-gah sound of the Parisian Gendarmie mini-vans. Five of them unloaded about 20 gendarmes complete with lead shot loaded capes and truncheons. The all rushed into a hole in the wall dive. Screams, sounds of breaking glass and furniture went on for about 8 minutes. We were expecting tear gas any minute and were ready to beat feet, when a clot of a dozen flics emerged supporting a drunken giggling skinny Algerian who couldn't have weighed more than 95 lbs. We hung around waiting for the rest miscreants to be hauled out. But it was only that one skinny drunk. We were not impressed.
So 44 years later with typical Gallic efficiency there's another skinny Algerian but more than 300 armed flics sitting out a multi day siege. Somewhere in France the retired gendarmes are reading today's news with disgust and ragging about "back in the day" we knew how to knock heads.

Now the remains can be taken to the nearest toxic dump. France has a lot of nuke plants for electricity, so they must have such a place nearby.
