Our Foreign Staff 8 MAY 2017 • 11:57PM Police poured into Paris' Gare du Nord station late on Monday evening, evacuating passengers from platforms and sealing off the area.

French police said in a single tweet that there was an operation underway at the busy station, which is the terminus of a large suburban and national rail network as well as Eurostar trains from London.

Dave James Phillips, a 39-year-old technology consultant from Britain, said he was getting off the last train in from London when he saw officers flooding the station.

I wonder if the facts about the Bataclan massacre at the Paris nightclub were ever reported in France.

I saw reports that turned my stomach for forever against the Islamist jihad.

Too bad the French were deprived of the facts!

On a beautiful September day in 2007, my wife and I got off at Gare Nord and proceeded to walk, towing luggage, all the way to the Seine. Three miles.

Over cobblestone, through neighborhoods that had nothing to do with tourists. All we knew was that they burned 1,000 cars there on New Years Eve but was otherwise safe.

We will never do that again.
