    I admit I saw this report earlier and didn't think terrorist... maybe just some insane person...

    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.

    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.

    Clickbait bolloxology.

    OP needs to brush up on his terminology.

    hint in the word "possible"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,641 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    hint in the word "possible"


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,058 ✭✭✭whoopsadoodles


    hint in the word "possible"

    In that case everything is a possible terrorist attack ffs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,642 ✭✭✭MRnotlob606

    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....

    A dog committed a terrorist attack on me the last day on the way home from work.

    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.

    How about you relax your jocks and continue patrolling other threads for possible terminology anomalies?

    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.

    Are comparing me to the Daily Mail? are you for real? I only suggested it could be a possible terrorist attack. Christ all mighty, Boards can be full of pedants and semantics....

    The events in france are the top story in the news section. The story directly below it is this.

    Was the Reuters link not good enough


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,671 ✭✭✭dav3

    Well...it's possible. Where would you both be without clickbait headlines?

    Did you even read the link you posted? The part that says...
    A source said there was nothing at this stage to suggest what he called a terrorist attack.

    does the reuters link mention the word terrorist? No it does not. they are a responsible news agency not clickbait gutter journalism like the mail and the op.

    Blatantly stolen from Reddit Ireland a few weeks back....where it was naturally down voted by other cyclec*nts.

    Well i'm not a journalist, I just said it could be a possible terrorist attack.

    Maybe you could have put a few?????? after the headline or IMO something to calm the crowd.
    Seems your not allowed an opinion any more.
    I think its possibly a religiously motivated attack,I also think I could be totally wrong.

    I'm a cyclist and a woman, and I'd find the term both childish and distasteful.
