MORE TERROR IN FRANCE – AT 11:51 A.M. ET:  A new attack, this time in Marseilles, kills two.  Of course we must understand that this is Trump's fault.  From AFP:

MARSEILLE, France (AFP) — A suspected Islamist knifeman killed two women at the main train station in the French Mediterranean city of Marseille on Sunday before being shot dead by soldiers patrolling there, local officials and police said.

One of the victims was fatally stabbed while the other had her throat slit by the assailant who is believed to have shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is Greatest) at the start of his rampage, a source close to the investigation told AFP on condition of anonymity.

Soldiers posted in the station as part of a special force set up to guard vulnerable areas in terror-hit France responded to the stabbings in front of the station and shot the man dead, local officials said.

Armed police were deployed afterwards and the grand and ornate rail terminus in the bustling heart of France’s second-biggest city was evacuated, stopping all train traffic on one of the country’s busiest lines.

“Two victims have been stabbed to death,” regional police chief Olivier de Mazieres told AFP, referring to the attack which occurred at 1:45 pm (1145 GMT).

The latest deaths came with France still on high alert and in a state of emergency following a string of attacks in recent years by extremists linked to the Islamic State group or Al-Qaeda.
Since 2015, a total of 239 people have been killed in France by jihadists, according to an AFP count before Sunday’s incident.

COMMENT:  There are some signs that France is waking up to the reality of a society constantly threatened by terror.  But in Western Europe, "waking up" takes a very long time.
