俄罗斯体育部长穆特科就世界反兴奋剂机构（Wada）指责俄罗斯田径运动员严重使用违禁药物问题发表谈话说，俄罗斯田径运动员将全面合作，以证明自己的清白。
世界反兴奋剂机构星期一发表独立的调查报告，公布了有关俄罗斯田径领域存在服用禁药、隐瞒药检结果和敲诈行为等指控的调查结果，同时也对国际田径联合会（IAAF）提出了批评。
报告说，2012年伦敦奥运会期间存在着对涉嫌使用违禁药物运动员的“广泛的不作为”，使那次奥运会受到了破坏。
报告还建议对五名俄罗斯田径运动员和五名俄罗斯教练员实施终身禁赛的处罚，尽管这些运动员和教练员还没有对有关指称做出回应，这些指称也没有得到证实。
目前，国际田径联合会正在研究俄罗斯受到的“国家资助的使用违禁药物行为”的指责，并且考虑是否执行世界反兴奋剂机构提出的禁止俄罗斯田径运动员参加2016年奥运会的建议。

Even without near-native fluency, a fair number of us can make our way through it.

Plus, if you're going to try to look intimidating, at least use a Taiwanese source. Quoting PRC sources only smacks of ideological conformism. Unless, of course, this was a Uighur attack in Beijing.

56. it figures you'd find this a laughing matter

that little emoticon of yours looks a lot like a troll.

Go away and play with your special friends

[uhnope]

5. I think we are living in WW3 and we don't know it yet.

[Tipperary]

18. I agree. This is horrifying.

[uhnope]

25. it's time for people of good will to unite & to keep level heads & our values of tolerance, openness

democracy, freedoms of speech religion assembly etc

Sorry for the rant. Freaked out.

[Tipperary]

35. I understand your rant.

I am at my home with a friend and we are watching in horror and disbelief. Though sadly, we believe it all too well.

28. i just said that to someone

about 5 minutes ago. has a very bad vibe

Praying for everyone involved.

8. More news

5 metro lines in France were cut.

People living on the Isle de la France in the center of Paris (where Notre Dame is) are told to shelter in place.

7 dead near Louvre.

An emergency session of the cabinet ministers has been called.

wHite Plan has been put in place. White Plan Is an emergency plan for security and hospitals.

9. Rough months ahead. Maybe years.

Ah, mes frères et sœurs.

[dhol82]

10. Just heard on the news

so I don't have a link, but Hollande has closed the French borders.

[cap]

13. Link to hollande closing the borders is from the live feed I am quoting from

Have been translating this feed...so I got ya covered

[cap]

11. This is the first time a state of emergency has been declared in France nationwide.

In 2005-2006, a national state of emergency was declared in Ile de la France and 24 departments (states). Before that, only in the 1950s in Algeria and nouvelle Caledonia

[Javaman]

12. Isis did this to make Europe feakout and stop the

Refugees coming in from Syria.

They know the push by a number of european nations to stop or limit the refugee entry. This action by Isis will basically make the European nations close their borders.

Also be prepared for the random attacks on the innocent refugees by out rages ultra right wing groups in Europe and to an extent here.

Also expect an escalation by European nations to commit forces to Syria.

This horrible event just turnred the Syria war from a regional war,into something much larger.

[dhol82]

19. Some speculation that it is not ISIS

but Al Qaeda that engineered the attacks.

Too much coordination and planning. Was talking with my GF when she heard that there was a fourth attack and I said, 'how strange, Al Qaeda usually only does three.' I am still on board with this being an Al Qaeda attack.

Not sure why they are still in the picture but it's got their fingerprints all over it.

[Springslips]

27. Though they had five we know of

On 9/11.

[Javaman]

72. Isis has claimed responsibility. nt

[dhol82]

73. Then they have become stronger and more sophisticated

It will be interesting to see who is now doing their planning and coordination.

Wonder if it was Jihadi John?

[CJCRANE]

32. Isis said they want to send 500,000 refugees into Europe

and hide their fighters among them.

Thanks to Merkel, there will be a lot more than that.

17. Thank you Cheney, Bush

For starting this horrible war, may you bastards rot in hell. There would be no Isis, no civil war in Syria, no refuge crisis..none of this would be happening had you two not struck the hornets nest.

20. You forgot Sarkozy

Americans aren't the only ones who have their hands bloody

[merrily]

52. Well, if we're going abroad, let's not leave out Blair.

[geek tragedy]

31. If this was Al Qaeda, the roots go much deeper. nt

[uhnope]

33. that's not 100% correct. 9/11 happened before Bush made everything worse

[CJCRANE]

34. And Bush's buddies helped to do 9/11. nt

66. Have you read the full 9/11 report?

No, because it hasn't been released.

We are sleepwalking to oblivion because people refuse to look at what's right in front of them and out in the open.

[uhnope]

67. reality is bad enough without getting into conspiracy theory

Bush/Cheney did not invent radical Islamic terrorism, no matter how much some people want to believe that

[CJCRANE]

68. The 9/11 Report is the official report!

It's well known what is in the full report.

[uhnope]

69. WTF are you going on about? Spit it out already

36. Time for NATO coalition ground forces, tank divisions, etc.

to wipe these scum off the face of the Earth.

[uhnope]

46. The UN needs to take charge. And the EU has got to get its security as good as the FBI's.

[leftynyc]

48. Why the UN.

NATO and perhaps a hand from the Russians could do it.

[uhnope]

51. because NATO is "the west" but the UN is the world

[leftynyc]

53. And who from outside

The west do you think will help.

[uhnope]

55. you could be right but I think a vote could be won now in the aftermath

[leftynyc]

57. Probably

But it'll be a wage of time that will include meaningless gestures by many that just give lip service while they finance these barbarians.

[tabasco]

50. Definitely an intelligence failure.

I have no opinion on the "security" of the FBI.

[christx30]

63. ISIS has been murdering 100's of thousands in

Iraq and Syria for the better part of 2 years. Where has the UN been, and what have they done to stop it? They send out a message condemning the beheadings of people. But that does nothing to stop it.

[uhnope]

64. exactly. I think the world is pretty much throwing up its hands at the mess in the Middle East

but when it spills across the borders, that's when maybe the UN will take action

[og1]

38. Who is to blame

I'm afraid most Americans can name all the kardasians but don't have a clue to who is the worlds greatest sponsors of terrorism. Could it be the Israelis with their world sponsered terrorism knows as Zionism or the Saudies with radical Wahhabism or the theocratic Americans with their color revolutions for democracy building.

49. Wow. Remember that when DUers start trying to blame this on the West

thanks a lot for your posts

[magical thyme]

62. a witness said one of them yelled, "This is for Syria"

Remember it was an alliance/group attack, and France jumped the gun and started bombing ahead of schedule.

[uhnope]

74. so you're saying it was France's fault?

[magical thyme]

75. I'm saying France bombed ISIS in Syria last September

and that this was in direct retaliation for that bombing and expect more to come. One witness stated last night that one of the terrorists said, 'This is for Syria."

http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/27/middleeast/syria-france-isis-bombing/


The news this morning confirms what I wrote last night:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/nov/14/paris-terror-attacks-live-news-updates-isis-france

The Islamic State militant group has released a statement claiming responsibility for Friday night’s attacks and has threatened further attacks against France. The group says the killings were in response to airstrikes against its militants in Syria, adding France would remain a “key target”.

If you follow the links you'll come to their statement, which is in French.

47. Our exchange student from France is often in Paris

French colonialists have terrorized their colonies over the centuries.

Haiti, Vietnam, Senegal, Cote D'Ivoire, Morocco, and many more.
