Jihadist Shouting "Allahu Akbar!" Kills Five at Mali Nightclub

It seems we're just supposed to accept terrorism as a way of life now. There's a rhythm to the violence. I wake up and read about the latest terrorist attacks committed in the name of Allah. Then I check CNN for the most up-to-date claims that Islam is a religion of peace. In the evening, I read about more terrorist attacks committed in the name of Allah. I go to sleep, and when I wake up, the cycle continues.

Police Stand Near La Terrasse Nightclub

Telegraph—A hooded assailant has killed five people including a Frenchman and a Belgian in a gun and grenade attack on a nightclub popular with expatriates in Mali’s capital Bamako.

A policeman, a security guard and a young woman were the three Malians who died.

The attacker shouted “Allahu akbar” (Arabic for ‘God is great’) as he burst into the nightclub, La Terrasse, at about one am and sprayed bullets from an automatic rifle, witnesses said.

French troops intervened in the west African country two years ago against groups linked with al-Qaeda.

The Frenchman was shot dead in the first-floor bar. The Belgian, a security officer with the European Union delegation in Bamako, was killed in front of his house in a nearby street as the attacker made his getaway in a car driven by an accomplice who also wore a hood concealing his face, police said.

As they drove away, the attacker hurled a grenade at a police car, killing the policeman.

Nine people were wounded, including two Swiss soldiers serving as UN experts, who were described as being in “stable but critical condition”, and a Swiss woman.

Two suspects were arrested, police said. (Continue Reading.)
