This attack is incredibly efficient and coordinated.

Too many people underestimate the enemy.

This is what we can expect here in not too many years.

I’m sure the French police have a list of all the terror cells to be rounded up in case of such an event..

Definitely off the bucket list ..

Hollande and his party are toast. Your question about the involvement of ISIS jihadis in this attack is an essential question.
