Unarmed US Marine 'in critical condition' after Kalashnikov-wielding suspected terrorist on board high-speed train between Amsterdam and Paris.

An unarmed US Marine who ambushed a Kalashnikov-wielding gunman on a train between Amsterdam and Paris is in critical condition, according to French media reports.

The serviceman, who has not been named, was one of two Americans who tackled the 26-year-old Moroccan national to the ground after hearing him load up a gun in the toilet.

In the scuffle, one of the Marines was shot and another stabbed. France Info reports one is in a critical condition.

Addressing reporters at the station in Arras, northern France, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said: 'I would like to express our gratitude to and admiration for these two American passengers.'

He added: 'Thanks to the calm composure of the two American passengers, we have avoided a tragedy. 'Without them we would have face something terrible.'

Almost as if the Muslim knew the Marines would be on that train and went looking for them.

‘I would like to express our gratitude to and admiration for these two American passengers.’

They were not American passengers. They are United States Marines!

Prayers uplifted.

The suspected terrorist had at least six full magazines of ammunition holding almost 200 rounds.

This guy was going to shoot up the whole train. Our boys recognized the danger and saved many lives.

According to other reports the Marines heard the perp loading his AK in the restroom and confronted him when he came out.

Don’t bother DHS with this stuff. They’re busy with right-wing extremists and Pam Geller.

The unarmed Marine “AMBUSHED” the Kalashnikov wielding terrorist.

No bias here!
