Early media reports indicate that two or three unarmed US Marines
overpowered a terrorist who opened fire on a high-speed train between
Amsterdam and Paris. Details are sketchy so far and the Pentagon has
not confirmed as of yet.

If true, "Well Done" to the Marines!



Forgot link to story:

sharp ears and quick thinking. Good on them.The odd thing how big of a backpack did that guy have to stuff all that ordnance in to board the train?


I saw an updated story about this saying that a Brit had also helped. The lone Frenchman mentioned in the article had injured himself pulling the train's alarm. Heh-heh.
