French Jets Bomb ISIS Targets In Syrian Stronghold Of Raqqa by chidiezeh(m): 6:14am On Nov 16, 2015
French jets struck the heart of ISIS-controlled territory on
Sunday in the first direct retaliation for Friday’s deadly
terror attacks that killed 129 in Paris.


French fighter jets dropped 20 bombs on a command and
control center, a jihadi recruitment center, munitions
depot and ISIS training camp in the Syrian city of Raqqa,
AP and Reuters reported, citing a statement from the
French Defense Ministry.

The "massive" raid was launched from the United Arab
Emirates and Jordan and was carried out in coordination
with U.S. forces.


A Pentagon source told Fox News, "these were French
strikes but they were conducted within the coalition. We
helped with target list."


Raqqa is the de facto capital of the Islamic State's
"caliphate."

The French strikes come the same day the U.S. delivered
an ammunition shipment by land to Syrian-Arab coalition
forces in Syria, an American official told Reuters.


The U.S. has conducted the vast majority of coalition
attacks on ISIS territory up to this point, and has been
almost solely responsible for all coalition bombings of ISIS
inside Syria.


The personal nature of Friday's attacks, which devastated
France and shocked the world, changed the calculus. The
official casualty toll stood at 129 dead and 352 wounded
after the heinous, coordinated attacks at various public
locations in and around Paris.


French President Francois Hollande called Friday's
Islamist spree an “act of war” during a nationally televised
address. Hollande vowed France “will be merciless toward
the barbarians of Islamic State group.”


The first opportunity for payback came Sunday in an
effort that included 12 aircraft, 10 of which were French
fighter jets.


ISIS, in an online statement, described Paris as "the carrier
of the banner of the Cross in Europe" and described the
attackers as "eight brothers wrapped in explosive belts and
armed with machine rifles."

Sometimes i think these terrorists are sending us signals , they are telling us they want to commit suicide , they want mass extinction but there are some stewpyd rules in place

A suicide bomber from a terror group knowing fully well that France will retaliate goes ahead and bombs people

The same thing in USA

UK inclusive they know there will be consequences but they still carry on


To defeat terror, we have to be brutal like terrorists

Follow no rules, any women or children in terrorists cities or stronghold should not be pitied

Stop carpet bombing , Use biological weapons

Use Nukes

Forget rules of engagement

Once they know people are willing to turn extreme , they'll return toAllah for another method to terrorize people
