Among the hotel guests were .. representatives of special forces to combat terrorism from France

Cruel irony of fate. Or maybe they were the main goal of the terrorists, and no special knowledge and skills helped the specialists. It is only in Hollywood blockbusters that a lone hero can easily cope with a gang of villains armed to the teeth. Life is simpler and worse.

Most likely this is the case, because the scumbags did not storm another place or blow up local markets, but came as if on a tip to this hotel, although why it did? Maybe on a tip.

The attack is always planned, do not just come and shoot anywhere

first of all, they started shooting people of European appearance. ”

NOT can, namely, according to verified data. It’s just that even cats do not occur. And kaidniks are quite well organized and trained by the same foreigners.

Any terrorist is a coward by nature. Fighting unarmed civilians is much safer than fighting regular units.

63 hostages released

How much was originally captured? At least 63 people were saved, it’s already good. But the bad thing is that the terrorists act insolently, trying to do maximum harm. And specialists from France probably came to help in countering possible terrorist attacks and they themselves fell.

It seems that the soap bubble of external borrowing is starting to fail and the Americans have gone all-in.

It is clear that they continue to intimidate French officials.

All this is very sad that, apart from Russia, no one wants to really fight terrorists and they always raise their heads, and many countries only flirt with terrorists.

Militants called the terrorist attack in Burkina Faso revenge of France. Again innocent people suffered. The world community will sooner or later demand an answer from Western politicians: such as Obama, Merkel, Hollande, Cameron and Erdogan to hold accountable for their crimes. After all, a series of terrorist attacks is nothing more than a consequence of the criminal policies of these gentlemen.

The global economic crisis is contributing to the continuation and strengthening of terrorist organizations. It is necessary to destroy the financiers of these organizations. Because the poor will go and kill for 100 bucks.

Soon, there will be no countries left on the map where the moody-minded people have spoiled. God cannot be the people who do this. Our special services will have to liquidate the members of terrorist organizations wherever they are. All the same, sooner or later they will end up in our territory. Well, it’s important the task is to deal with funding centers and sponsors of these gangs. And without money you won’t get much.
It constantly comes to my mind that terrorist acts also take place for the sake of making money in resource-rich regions ... For some reason, nobody blows up in Mongolia, Greenland and North Korea.

In Russia, the Caucasus is not calm either.

In one of the districts of Nalchik, where the regime of the counter-terrorist operation was introduced the day before, the battle continues on Saturday morning. This was reported by TASS with reference to a source in law enforcement agencies in the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria.

“The clash continues in Nalchik,” the source said.

Shooting and explosions are heard in the city. The CTO regime is limited to the streets of Furmanov, January 9, Idarov and Khmelnitsky. The day before it was reported that two fighters were liquidated in Nalchik on Friday evening. The battle began after one of the terrorists was blocked in the house. After negotiations, during which he was asked to surrender, the militant released his mother from the apartment and opened fire on law enforcement officers with automatic weapons. NAC plans to complete the special operation in the daytime. http://tvzvezda.ru/news/vstrane_i_mire/content/201601160908-9oja.htm
