Apparently yesterday they had a localisation of the two idiots but not a precise one, and they tried to find them. Most likely the idiots hid themselves in a specific place and camped all day and night until they rob a car and at that point they were tailed by the police. | ||

Not sure about the police itself, but I do believe special forces in our country are amongst the best-trained soldiers in the world. I don't see this ending well. I hope the hostage does not die, but it's looking very grim. edit: I'm currently watching the live web channel of RTL, and I feel like they're sharing way too much information. This reminds me of the recent incident that happened in Sydney, where authorities and citizens alike kept reminding everyone not to broadcast too many details about the operations conducted by the police. I believe the media also followed these instructions, and shared the bare minimum so long as the hostage situation was happening. I think the French media should do the same here. | ||

Yeah the problem is the terrorists have most likely no sense of self preservation which is what i guess negotiations are mostly about "we won't shoot you" but they dont't care since they will die as martyrs etc. Religious extremism kinda throws the rulebook out of the window for a hostage situation i'd bet. I don't know who these guys would even listen to, some very famous and respected Imam? Doubt it. | ||

Still watching RTL's live web channel. They're making a whole show about it. "We are the first to provide you with information about this situation, as it has been officially confirmed". Add that to stupid testimonies and so on... they're selling the whole damn thing. I don't like it one bit. It's too sensational. You can tell they want to profit from it. Meh... | ||

Dunno if it really matters but it can't hurt for sure. | ||
