Medical services say several people have been wounded in an ongoing hostage situation in the northern French town of Roubaix.

A huge police operation is currently ongoing near to a service station in the town, which is close to the Belgian border, according to local newspaper La Voix Du Nord.

Several armed men holed themselves inside a service station after being stopped at a police road block, it was reported.

Apparently Roubais is almost entirely Populated by Muslims like Molenbeek.

It will never get better in Europe, will it FReeper’s.

Europe, like America, chose not to wipe ISIS from the face of the earth while in its infancy. Instead, it chose to procrastinate... that procrastination is reaping some painful consequences.

Latest reports on Twitter are that this is a bank robbery gone awry—not terrorism.

Not unless they face reality but quick.

European Union, be sure to keep those donations to the Arabs on the West Bank and Gaza flowing in...

Meanwhile, try to think up new ways to blame all this on the Joos and Israel.

Good luck with all that.

Yes, a bank robbery. I’ve heard the hostages are possibly the bank director’s family??

Yes, and the Mali situation was deemed all over and done early in the day, despite the terrorists still being holed up in the building. Did we ever hear what happened to them?

“It’s time to drop the lard bombs.”

Just say it’s lard - they wouldn’t know the difference (except for the secret pork-munchers, and they’re not about to tell).
