ISIL, ISIS, Daesh discussion thread.

Worst thing is it is Africa, They will have a lot of time to prepare the traps and bombs before special forces are ready. Get in there asap because just like Paris they are in it for the death toll. The sooner you get in at them the less time they have to murder people one by one.

I just hope Mali has some elite special forces. Goodluck to all. :(

Also, just to show how ****ed up this world really is, ISIS aren't just destroying these ancient sites we hear about, they are ransacking and looting them first for all the antiquities and selling them on the black market.

Old news.
 
"Reuters news agency reports that the gunmen attacking the Radisson Blu hotel in Mali's capital Mali have released some hostages including those able to recite verses of the Koran."

Might be worth learning some of this before trips abroad

There are other variants of this story, including one in which Washington and Moscow collaborated in circulating red-mercury stories to flush out nuclear smugglers and to waste terrorists’ time. American soldiers and officers in bomb-disposal and counter-W.M.D. jobs shared that version with me, although, once again, no one had evidence for its veracity. It was something that they had heard on their jobs and a story they admitted that they liked — the thinking being that if the Four Lions wanted to shop for photon torpedoes, let them shop; that would be preferable to how the Islamic State otherwise spends its time.

Learning what? I think you're (humorously) falling into the trap.

Companies are warned that Africa is a high risk territory. A lot of company insurance will not cover travel because of this. Mali has an ongoing military action with the help of France.

I landed in the 2006 state of emergency in the Manilla (occurred during mid flight that morning and I only was advised by the taxi driver!), all the hotels had armed security, metal detectors, bag searches and anti-vehicle measures (i.e. high concrete blocks). Lots of tanks and soldiers around.

So I'm quite surprised that the hotels have such lax security with government visitors being common place.
 
French are on the scene at the minute Leon so yup. What worrys me is a tall rise building and suicide bombers forcing everyone up to the top and then the whole building coming down like the westgate mall. You know the scene where police are backed up all the way down the stairways just like in the film Leon.


Going up top with lots of explosives is probably the most evil thing i can think of.

Snipers cover the roof. Parachute/line drop commandos on roof.

As always there's a risk that the hostages have been "wired up" to the terrorist - however the hollywood scene of lots of vests doesn't make sense, all in a room with a bomb. Kind of makes an all or nothing approach - especially as the gunmen if the gunmen are resigned to die.
 
Malian special forces have stormed the hotel and 80 hostages have been freed.

No group has claimed to be behind the attack.

No, that would be sensible. I mean, by rights we ought to give all of ourselves a good lashing with the moral whip for buying fuel for our cars, food for our children and clothes for our selves. For we all fund the terrorists!

I appreciate the sentiment but I'm not sure where I said it was the American state doing the funding. Obviously it's citizens, but in the same way, it's obvious to those citizens where that artifact has come from and who is getting the money

And it seems you can't tell the difference between a general product that is available from legitimate supplies and to the end user would be impossible to differentiate where that came from, from a specific antiquity that could only have come from one place.

Anyway, it wasn't that serious a comment! Just a satirical side swipe at the stupidity of situations. :)
