    The french Police are currently on a manhunt after the body of woman was discovered with stabs wounds at a retirement home for Catholic missionaries.

    Source:http://www.reuters.com/video/2016/11/25/manhunt-after-france-retirement-home-dea?videoId=370552400&videoChannel=1

    The article says "nothing to suggest a terrorist attack".
    So why did you title the thread as such?

    Some people have an agenda and are blind to facts.

    Going by that "logic" any violent attack is a "possible" terrorist attack.

    Not really, the fact it was in a religious institute, after a elderly catholic priest was killed earlier this year, Its not unwise to suggest this could be a terrorist attack too.

    No it couldn't. The logic I am going by is the fact it was a religious institute for retired catholic missionaries, earlier in the year an elderly Catholic priest was murdered by Isis affiliates. Do the math yourself.

    its a retirement home for missionaries. Just admit that you invented the terrorist thing from nothing because the reuters article certainly doesnt use that word.

    In all effing fairness it was a terrorist attack numpties.....whoever that person who was stabbed must have been terrorised out of their mind.

    It doesn't have to be politically or religiously motivated to instill fear in some poor unfortunate.

    Some people, I don't know....

    Hopefully it will be confirmed as a terrorist attack (or not) soon so you can depart your lofty sentinel post and go to the next thread.

    It was a possible alien attack. Emphasis on the word "possible" of course, I wouldn't want to sensationalise.

    On the daily mail they're saying that the cops are anti terror cops. On other sources they specify that the cops aren't specialist anti terror police.
