@LadyDuck Occasionally on our Australian news we hear that police have prevented a terrorist attack but it's the individuals who take it into their heads to terrorise that are particularly difficult to stop.

There are still a bunch of sick people in the world to have done something like that and have killed so many people.

@LadyDuck - That's what they want. That's part of it anyway; they want all of us to feel scared and vulnerable.

These days there's a lot of arguments over security and privacy where the former will need to employ intrusive surveillance on every known correspondences and data, against the demand and needs of the people for their privacy and exercising their freedom rights. At the same time, these extremists could never be spotted since they have cleverly blend in with the general population. So unless more intrusive and invasive methods could be used during surveillance there is no way these factions could be arrested and stopped in time.

What is more scaring, those terrorist seems to have people introduced in key sectors so that they can do what they want without being spotted.

@LadyDuck The only plausible solution is for all rational thinking nations to come together and end the terror groups that operate , at least for sometime we may have peace ..

There is a limit to how much security can be employed without seriously impeding the travel of innocent individuals. If security is raised to too high a degree then ISIS will have succeeded to some degree by causing such a disruption. It is well overdue for countries to take a more positive action against ISIS and not just a constant defence. So far the only country to take any positive action is Russia, who were criticised by most Western countries for doing so.

@LadyDuck Kalashnikov's have been around for some time, so they could have been supplied prior to the problem arising. There are also many other sources from which those weapons can be acquired, albeit the origin being Russia.

I was so sad to see the images on the news last evening. I cannot imagine how frightened those many people are, you could see it in their faces. And terrorism, where or when will it ever end? Why can't we all get along in this world? I have no doubt that these attacks will continue, they seem so random, and then when things unfold thru the details on the news, we find that they were very well planned out attacks.

@TheHorse Yes, it is exact. I remember that the Swiss Police had a long list of Belgian youngsters who joined ISIS in Syria. They should have banned them to come back to their country. This is what Switzerland does, those who go to Syria and join ISIS cannot come back.

Obviously we are not doing enough but as they know, single individuals are very hard to guard against. I wonder whether they are choosing dates that they think are significant to Americans? 9/11 because the US emergency number is 911 (in the UK the same date is 11/9 and the emergency number is 999 so there isn't the same meaning) and then Friday 13th because they know that many, but Americans in particular, are superstitious about this date.

I am superstitious about Friday the 13th, but it is not the reason : yesterday was the 1st anniversary of an anti-terrorist law voted in France on November 13th 2014 with ISIS in mind.

It's even harder now that we have removed the borders among European states. So many refugees come in every day from Italy and Greece, but among them there are terrorists. One of the Paris killer was a Syrian refugee who entered the last October 10th through Greece.
