Soldiers on the streets: Military is brought in to protect Eiffel Tower, media offices, places of worship and public transport links as France responds to terror attack
Soldiers pictured patrolling Paris in combat fatigues with machine guns Troops deployed to train stations, places of worship, and public spaces Three gunmen who attacked offices in the city this morning still at large Heavily armed soldiers are patrolling the streets of Paris today as three gunmen who attacked the offices of controversial magazine Charlie Hebdo remain on the loose.
The French government has upped security at train stations, places of worship, newspaper offices and public spaces this afternoon after 12 people, including police officers and journalists, were shot dead earlier today.
Soldiers wearing green berets, dressed in combat fatigues, and carrying Famas assault rifles have been pictured in front of the Eiffel Tower and inside Montparnasse railway station.

I noticed that, too. I'd be surprised if they even have rounds issued. I hope I'm wrong about that.
They would probably want UN permission to even uncrate ammunition before taking any action.
They should send the army into the Islamic “no go” zones and clean house.
Wow. They are still on the loose ? There goes the tourist industry and who the heck is going to work tomorrow ? Usually these guys know they will die. No suicide vests ? This means they have something else planned.
Will Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur be protected as well?
The Eiffel Tower is merely a steel structure that can easily be rebuilt if destroyed. Not much of a loss.
You know why the new French navy has glass-bottomed boats?
To see the old French navy...
Good grief! If this didn't change their minds about doing that sort of thing, what possibly could.
“They should send the army into the Islamic “no go” zones and clean house.”
They’re going to have to if they truly want to catch the terrorists who did this. A real “talk the talk or walk the walk” time for the socialists in charge.
Where is the trigger wire?
Barn door.
Closed.
Horse already out.
Military? Did the French let THEM have guns?
That was my first thought this morning after reading about the attack.
The Islamic terrorists have stirred Europeans from their sleep, but not to worry, the Europeans will settle back into their slumber in no time. Just as New York and America have gone back to sleep after 9/11.
Oh, I wholly agree. However, they should have done that when those doggone French Yutes were burning all those cars every weekend.
The truth is, we’ve already seen a pretty accurate description of liberal hand-wringing in the movie “The Siege”.
Diversity concern trolls will rule the airwaves, and the non-muslim French citizens will continue to be killed. It won’t stop until France ousts ALL of the Muslims in that country. ENGLAND did NOTHING when that MUSLIM zealot butchered that soldier on the street with a machete. NOTHING! Expect nothing different in France.
They eat chevalles in Europe.
Smoked chevalle meat is outstanding.
I’m not making any kind of social comment here, but these two pictures look to me like the same person.

LOL - good one.
The French Army has a large percentage of Muslim’s. In Afghanistan our forces dealt with them very cautiously.
