    It is classical that terrorists and insurgents "swim in the sea of people". If you let in 1,000 people and three are terrorists... If you let in 1,000 and their young and stupid who were not terrorists before can be converted.... The terrorists didn't import the bombs. It is far easier to create the means on site using raw materials, whether from gathered chemicals or attracting young, stupid, disaffected (all three?) to a cause. It is how I would do it. How many refugees/ migrants have they let in?
    As an example, there was a story about refugees in Sweden who refused to get off the bus because they were going to be given furnished houses in a small town with electricity, water, cable tv and presumably internet. They thought they were going to live in apartments in the big city, collect the welfare and live the high life. One family readily got off the bus and moved in to their house. I think Sweden should have sent the others back to the high life they had evidently been living. You would think that anyone who had a marketable skill would take any lodging that would let them get a foot in the door. This is where the swedes were giving them to stay free of charge, they didn't say you had to stay there. I don't like cold places anymore but when I was younger I wish they would have taken me as a refugee!

    Would that "story" be fact or fiction? I have my doubts on it being fact.

    CNN - Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News

    This situation is all over all the major news networks - 24/7 - constant "Breaking News" updates.

    ISIS is claiming responsibility for the airport attack (not sure about Metro attack) - dozens dead (30)- over 200 (220)injured - probably more dead/injured to follow.

    Brussels on highest alert - level 4. Two nuke plants are under additional protective procedures.

    New York City security is beefing up, too. No official intel being made public at this time.

    There are confimed US Nationals affected from these two incidents in Brussels - no official info yet as to their conditions/how may - one is officially confirmed to be an active duty Servicemember and immediate family.

    What a horrific attack. Carnage and chaos everywhere at these scenes.

    My heart hurts for all the innocent peoples affected from this.

    V/R,

    Actually it would be fact. It was reported in the news and ought to easily searchable.

    Try refugees protest rural Sweden relocation, refuse to leave bus.

    Or Asylum seekers refuse to get off bus.

    Or Sweden:Refugees refuse to leave bus for 3 days.

    I think you get the idea.:lol:

    Perhaps 'barbarous' would have been a better choice of adjective.
