WTF?

$1:

Two people have locked in 140 guests and 30 employees in "a hostage-taking situation", the hotel's owners said in a statement.

Police have surrounded the hotel, which the gunmen entered shooting, and shouting "God is great!" in Arabic, a security source told Reuters.

2 people got into a hotel in a country notorious for terrorist attacks against hotels and are now holding 170 people hostage. I really think someone needs a course in security.

I wonder how long till France sends some Kepi wearing "hostage negotiators" to defuse the situation. It'll be interesting to see what transpires though especially given some of the hostages are Chinese, a country who takes a dim view of their residents being killed by religious assholes.

Reuters news agency reports that the gunmen attacking the Radisson Blu hotel in Mali's capital Mali have released some hostages including those able to recite verses of the Koran.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh, but I am sure this has nothing to do with Islam.

Nope, nothing at all.

I have a friend in Australia who stopped vacationing in Mali after the bombings because of their lax security and religious tensions.

Seems like a wise choice.

I think the Radisson can do a little better than that.

This isn't Radical Islam, it's work place violence.

Earlier we reported that Al-Mourabitoun has claimed responsibility for the attack on Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, Mali. The claim has not been verified, but here is more about the group:

Al-Mourabitoun is active across the Sahel and North Africa and is led by the Algerian militant Mokhtar Belmokhtar.

It claimed to have been behind an attack on a hotel in the central Malian city of Sevare in August where 19 people were killed. It also claimed responsibility for Bamako's first terror attack when five people were killed in a restaurant in March.

Belmokhtar is himself notorious for the deadly siege on a gas facility in Algeria in January 2013 when 800 people were taken hostage and 40 killed.



That was the one with our 3 little jihadi converts.
