Three persons have been killed by the attacker, in Southwestern France who by the way has been heroically neutralised by a lieutenant colonel who is heavily injured himself.

I think it’s two plus the attacker, so three total including the now dead terrorist.

No, I'm formal : the attacker, that has been neutralised by a cop, is counted separately. The number of three casualties are innocent civilians.

Guy wanted Abdeslam released when he made a statement.

Also he was previously investigated for being potentially radicalized, but didn’t show overtly that he would be a Darsh lone wolf.

Jesus Santrich, a FARC official involved in the negotiations for the peace treaty, was arrested for drug charges and could be extradited to America if possible.

Should be worth a mention that the charges are said to be committed after the treaty was signed. The rules stipulate that any crimes committed prior to the treaty are under an amnesty deal.

My immediate question is "Who's T.J. Miller?" Article initially calls him a "silicon valley star" and actor.

Three Kansas Men Found Guilty Of Bomb Plot Targeting Somali Muslim Immigrants:

Three Kansas men were convicted Wednesday of plotting to bomb an apartment complex where Somali immigrants lived and worshiped in Garden City, following a four-week trial in Wichita.

Just a day after beginning deliberations, a federal jury found Curtis Allen, 50; Gavin Wright, 49; and Patrick Eugene Stein, 49, each guilty of one count of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction as well as one count of violating the housing rights of their would-be victims.

Wright was also convicted of lying to the FBI.

All three men face life in prison.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions called the verdict "a significant victory against domestic terrorism and hate crimes."

The men were arrested in 2016 just weeks before prosecutors say they had hoped to carry out mass murder at the apartment complex the day after U.S. voters elected the next president.

Prosecutors say the men, part of a militia group called the Kansas Security Force, prepared a manifesto saying their attack "would wake people up."

Prosecutor Risa Berkower said at the trial, "They wanted to send the message that Muslims are not welcome here – not in Garden City, not in Kansas, not in America," reports KCUR.

The men were charged following a months-long FBI investigation and sting operation.

They called themselves "the Crusaders" and had scoped out several potential targets, stockpiling firearms and bomb-making parts, say prosecutors.

Court documents say they then settled on 312 West Mary Street in Garden City, a cluster of eight buildings housing more than 100 people — mainly East African immigrants, KCUR's Frank Morris reported for NPR.

ETA's issuing an apology for taking out people who weren't suppose to be "legit targets" since they're about to disband.

Victim's groups are not biting it.

With them gone, the only groups left from the Cold War involves the various IR As and the FLNC.

Looks deliberate, I'm seeing that the suspect is in custody and tried to go for suicide by cop, by telling the cop that he had a gun, the cop didn’t play ball and just arrested him.

They've also not handed it off to RCMP, suggesting they don't consider it to be terrorism.

The suspect is Alek Minassian, 25.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-van-attack-driver-profile-alek-minassian-1.4632435

Nothing official yet, other than terrorism being ruled out, but the guy appears to have been involved in various MRA and Incel movements online, including referring to Elliot Rodger (who carried about a spree killing in the US over a particularly disgusting set of misogynistic crap) favorably on his Linked In profile...

Not necessarily. For one they mentioned the OPP and RCMP are helping. Plus as the suspect wasn't killed by Police, there's nothing really forcing the Toronto police to transfer the investigation at this stage.

ETA is now part of Spanish history.

Although Madrid maintains that it’s propaganda.
