Fatalities now reported. 4 dead, 20 injured, per Facebook. Wow.

One of the dead is the attacker.

Ahhh, OK. I had heard the attacker was in custody, but not dead. That explains social media having one death tally and CNN having another (I think 3).

Well at least it saves the cost of a trial. I can only hope he suffered first  Angry

Yeah, I'm always a bit mixed when things are resolved this way. At least the attacker is gone, but some punishment, to me, would have been satisfying.

Not as bad as Paris, took on a pretty well guarded target with a frontal assault.
Not the best planned attack by the looks of it.
Is that the best Daesh have got?

FUCK OFF Justin Welby save your pointless prayers, people have died today again due to RELIGION. Sick of religious freaks carrying out these attacks, and religious freaks thinking prayer will change anything.

There is more to the world then what happens in those countries.

This is too true in many cases.

I can't express how relieved I am that NZ isn't on that map.
