The French make their move to end this phase of islamic terror!
No matter the outcome, there is no operative deterrent at work from the good guys’ side. There’ only the expensive neutralization a couple of baddies that almost certainly would terrorize again or be promoted to be in charge of other jihadis if they escape.
For their side, these affirmed their faith and submission, were very successful in drawing infidel blood, and avenging Mohammed.
