When the Russians stormed the Moscow theatre in 2002 something like 150 hostages got killed although the Russians gassed soldiers gassed everyone

I don't think the Russians could have done anything other than gas everybody although obviously it would have been preferable if the gas didn't kill anybody and just rendered them unconscious.
 
Can anyone say, why it appears there are more successful attacks in France?

Does the UK and suchlike have better intelligence or have they just been lucky so far?

France just seems to get hit more, but maybe thats just my perspective.

There was a programme on TV about that a while ago. They made a right mess of it and, as is usual over there, tried to cover it up.

I was flying from Moscow to Novosibirsk about 5 years ago and got gassed by the Russians at sherometova ? Airport - some of the people around me were flat out frothing at the mouth - they really take no prisoners - apparently the whole airport was gassed to stop one person -

Having the Channel as a border makes it harder to get AK47s and other stuff into,the country. Not to mention there are 5million Muslims there.

France has a bigger percentage of muslims than the UK. I don't know if that is the only reason though.
 
Inhuman is a word too often used these days, but these people(the terrorist that is) are exactly that....
And should be treated exactly that way....
 
If explosives have been set off by the gunmen inside the hall, I shudder to think what the casualties could be from that alone.
