Iraq holding 1,400 foreign wives, children of suspected Islamic State fighters
Reuters reporters saw hundreds of the women and children sitting on mattresses crawling with bugs in tents without air-conditioning in what aid workers called a “militarized site”. Turkish, French and Russian were among the languages spoken.
“I want to go back (to France) but don’t know how,” said a French-speaking veiled woman of Chechen origin who said she had lived in Paris before. She said she did not know what had happened to her husband, who had brought her to Iraq when he joined Islamic State.
anyone paying attention to the kurds?

"A man who stabbed a police officer with a knife and deliberately plowed into pedestrians on Edmonton's busiest downtown strip is being investigated for 'acts of terrorism,'" police said at a news conference early Sunday."
Allegedly has an ISIS flag, but then again isn't it just a pure black flag? Could have been rags to polish the rental car.
Who should one believe, the head of MI5, or some hack down at The Guardian?
It seems that people today have forgotten - or perhaps don't even know about - the terrorist attacks of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s - the IRA, Baader Meinhof, Japanese Red Army, PLO, various other factions.
Perhaps I'm giving in to some sort of fallacious, rose-tinted nostalgia but it seems to me that people didn't kick up as much of a fuss back then. Public rubbish bins were removed from much of London but, apart from that, nothing really seemed to change. There was no need for draconian security laws and so on, no public announcement of threat levels etc.
Or is it somehow worse to be killed by someone who's brown, rather than someone who's white?

I'm quite possibly wrong, but I tend towards the Guardian's view.
I have no desire to be blown up, run over or stabbed, but the reaction to these attacks, and our society's apparent willingness to sign away our privacy and some of our other rights for some supposed security, nonetheless surprises me.

With the IRA (Britain) you knew what they wanted, they didn't go in for suicide bombing, and they usually gave the police advanced warning with a coded message that only the police and IRA knew...
With the current bunch of terrorists, we don't know what they want, they do go in for suicide bombing, and they don't give the police an advanced warning with a coded message...
Its got nothing to do with the colour of their skin...
We know exactly what they want, there's 1400 years of history and the religious texts to cross reference. It's all there plain to see.
We don't know what they want, because to answer that question would probably cause most people to shit their pants.
And the great experiment underway is too noble to let history get in the way. That's how the enablers sleep at night.
I normally like Jenkins, just bought one of iz bucks az it appens, Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations (I'll be wearing an anorak next or a fur coat!) but he's a bit off here....
8 dead in New York after a real winner drive over a bunch of people.
Nah. I’m good with executions. They were not soldiers or combatants, they were terrorist.
That said, I wouldn’t trust the Iraqi government to do it. They’d just execute their tribal enemies and let their mates go.
