BAMAKO, Mali - Islamic extremists armed with guns and throwing grenades stormed the Radisson Blu hotel in Mali's capital Friday morning, killing at least three people and initially taking numerous hostages, authorities said.

The Brussels-based Rezidor Hotel group that operates the hotel said early on that the assailants had "locked in" 140 guests and 30 employees.

The U.S. Embassy in Mali told citizens to shelter in place amid reports of an "ongoing active shooter operation" at the hotel in Bamako.

TERROR IN MALI: US special forces storm hotel and free six American hostages

Automatic weapons fire was heard on the seventh floor of the 190-room hotel, where it was thought as many as 10 militants roamed through the building, looking for guests and members of staff. 80 hostages have since been freed as special forces entered the building.

Six American nationals have been rescued alive but several other American remain inside with the other 125 guests and 13 employees trapped inside the besieged hotel. The Pentagon revealed that US Special Forces have been assisting the rescue operation in a bid to save the remaining hostages.

Three of the gunmen have been killed and the remaining terrorists have been seen heading to the roof as special forces make their way through the building. The al-Qaeda affiliated group Al-Mourabitoun, based in northern Mali, have claimed responsibility for the hotel attack

Thanks for sharing Spike. Just further update that Obama's pacifist strategy is indeed working. "If we just leave them alone, hug them, and refuse to call them radical Islamic terrorists, they will just go away."

I and my children will rest peacefully tonight, knowing the Great B. Hussein is looking after us.
 
phew! glad they werent making them read passages from the King James.
 
Well Mali just got removed from my bucket list.

Young female suicide bombers kill 15 in Nigeria market attack

Girl aged just 11 one of two bombers linked to Islamist terror group Boko Haram

At least 15 people have been killed after two female suicide bombers, one said to be aged as young as 11, blew themselves up at a busy mobile phone market in north-east Nigeria, a day after more than 30 were killed in a bomb blast.

The Islamist terror group Boko Haram has previously used young girls as human bombs in its six-year insurgency in north-east Nigeria, which has left at least 17,000 dead and made more than 2.6 million homeless

OK, we've been pretending we aren't suspicious of the people we are suspicious of for close to 15 years. Get with the program!

Okay, here is one thing I do not freaking understand.

I remember the mother of the soldier who died in Iraq protesting against George Bush. Her son voluntarily joined the army, was trained to use weapons, knew the potential danger, and died among his army mates while fighting a war that was voted on and approved. Yet she received a lot of attention and sympathy for her views.

So how the @#$% do we not see parents of these homicidal/suicidal terrorists on television every freaking day, telling ISIS or whoever that they should go @#$% themselves??? I am serious here - not one angry mother who is pissed at the idiots who think sending young people to their deaths is a good idea??

What ... the ... @#$%?!?!?

Mali Hotel Attack: US Citizen Among 27 Dead

DAKAR, Senegal — Heavily armed gunmen shouting “Allahu akbar” stormed a Radisson Blu hotel Friday morning in Bamako, the capital of the West African nation of Mali, seizing scores of hostages and leaving bodies strewn across the building.

The gunmen barreled past the hotel’s light security early in the morning, confusing guards with fake diplomatic license plates, and then burst into its glass-door lobby with their guns blazing.

“They started firing everywhere,” said a receptionist at the hotel who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

“They were shouting, ‘Allahu akbar.’ They cut someone’s throat, a white man.”

Not a peep from our terrorist lover in chief
 
Epic bad timing for the Democrats this week.
 
I blame Buuuuuuuuuuush... his policies from 7 years ago caused the attack today

Shhh....the word "Christmas" is banned per Obama

Might offend a goat ******


The Pope agrees


'Christmas is a charade': Pope says atrocities such as Paris massacre have made festivities meaningless in a world which has chosen 'war and hate'.

Yeah, because all those rabid Methodists and Catholics chose hate and are out on the streets murdering people!


But Ramadan must go on, right?

And the WWE this weekend.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...ck-wwe-event-atlanta-report-article-1.2442582

ISIS may be planning to body slam the WWE.

The FBI is investigating a mysterious threat claiming Islamic State terrorists will attack a Sunday World Wrestling Entertainment event in Atlanta.

While agents are taking the alleged threat — forewarned by hacktivist group Anonymous — seriously, they do not “have specific or credible information" that the Philips Arena wrestling match is a target, the FBI said in a statement.

“We have, however, made the proper notifications as we continue to work closely with our law enforcement and private sector partners to keep our community safe,” the statement read.

Anonymous claimed it uncovered the veiled threat days after declaring cyber war on the terror network.

Fighters are planning an assault on WWE’s Survivor Series, Anonymous said in a statement. The wrestling event is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Atlanta’s Philips Arena.

Islamic State terrorists are reportedly targeting a Sunday World WWE event.
The wrestling match will go on, WWE officials said.

“WWE Survivor Series is currently scheduled as planned while we investigate the matter with federal, state and local authorities," WWE said in a statement.

The Survivor Series, first held in 1987, is one of WWE’s four original pay-per-view wrestling competitions. This year’s event features seven face-offs including the Diva’s Championship match and a tag team match that puts four wrestlers in the same ring.

The Atlanta attack is just one of a slew of ISIS-led rampages allegedly set for Sunday. The terrorists also plotted out attacks at concerts, colleges and churches in Europe and Asia, Anonymous said.

Possible terror targets include a Five Finger Death Punch heavy metal concert in Milan, Feast of Christ the King celebrations in Rome, University Pastoral Day at Lebanon’s Holy Spirit University, an event at Al-Jihad mosque in Indonesia and two music shows in Paris.

The hackers said they submitted proof of the plans to the appropriate authorities days ago.

“But because they have not done anything with it yet and it's almost the 22nd, we have taken matters into our hands,” the group said in the statement, which served as a warning to anyone planning to attend one of the targeted events.

Anonymous announced it was waging a cyber war against the terrorists last week after ISIS took responsibility for a wave of attacks that killed 130 people in Paris.

“Expect massive cyber-attacks,” a voice said in a video announcing the planned hackings on ISIS. “War is declared. Get prepared. Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you down.”
