— Reuters Top News (@Reuters) November 24, 2015
A police source told Reuters that armed men took hostages in what was “apparently a robbery,” not a terrorist attack.
France remains stricken after a series of coordinated attacks broke out across the capital on Nov. 13, leaving 130 people dead. The Islamic State terrorist group has claimed responsibility.
A Fox News journalist Funny
Fox reported that the gunmen do not have ties to the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris that left 130 dead. Pretty fast to determine that. Did they mean to say there is no indication at this time they are tied to them? Refer back to #1.
I have had news on all day and have not heard about this aft all.
Its appears it was a bank robbery that went bad. Really bad time to be robbing banks I would suspect. But that’s why there were able to say its not tied to the terrorists attacks so quickly. And I believe its already been resolved.
A Fox News journalist------------on the ground???
Yeah--------------riiiiiiiiiiiiight .
Please update the headline. EVERYONE will assume it’s another attack. I know the click bait is nice, but please.
