France Terror: 'Hostages Taken' In Car Chase
Sky News ^ | Jan. 9, 2015 | Sky News

The two men suspected of attacking a newspaper in Paris have stolen a car and reportedly have several hostages.

A car chase is under way on the N2 motorway, and police sources say shots have been fired.

The car is now on the outskirts of Paris - close to Charles de Gaulle airport - and several helicopters are reportedly hovering overhead.

Sky's Ian Woods says the police focus now appears to have turned to an industrial building near to the airport.

Two people with gunshot wounds have been taken to hospital in Meaux.

“They reportedly expressed a desire to ‘die for martyrdom’.”

Of course, they are. That hostage is definitely in trouble.

They haven’t been looking for a fight from the beginning. They are attacking unarmed innocents.

Yes, she is. And I wish they'd let people in buildings close by get out of there. We don't know what those guys have in there with them. They've shown they like large numbers of casualties.

Knock them out with gas then cover them in lard. They won’t seek martyrdom in that state.

The French president just gave a press conference that I think was supposed to make the citizens feel safe; more comfortable. If so, he failed, imho. Came across as wishy-washy mumbo-jumbo.

These are filthy disgusting savage bastards. For them, death is an honor. They have no compassion for humans. Only a fanaticism caused by their insane subhuman ideology.
