A commuter train derailed and crashed, then caught fire.  Apparently the train was not full of passengers and was conducting a test run when, for some unknown reason, it left the tracks and hit a bridge.  A local TV station said the high speed train was testing the new tracks and possibly left the rails due to high speed, five technicians onboard were killed.

French police admitted that they were tracking at least one of the now dead attackers, and that they’ve been in long term contact with three people just arrested in Belgium!

French police claim one of the dead attackers had a Syrian passport.

French TV commentators are questioning why the attacks were allowed to happen now that it’s obvious police were in long term contact with attackers, and obviously knew an attack was coming as demonstrated by evacuations that took place hours before the attacks started.  

U.S. and U.K. citizens confirmed victims of attack.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry made an announcement, in English and French, essentially saying the attack on France was an attack on the United States.  France is a NATO member.  French president François Hollande declared the attack an act of war.  Any act of war upon one NATO member is considered an act of war against all NATO members (Article 5).

Angela Merkel, of NATO member Germany stated “We will help you lead the fight…”.  NATO member United Kingdom’s David Cameron stated “We are with you. United.”

U.S. ‘officials’ are now referring to Islamic State by its Arabic name DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]).
