I can't believe that every time there is a discussion on here the BASIC facts are always disputed by RichD and the gentleman who went to the same school as him.

what is reported and what are facts are not always the same thing. if there are conflicting reports how do you determine what the facts are?
I am not saying i have the facts i am suggest that the facts are yet unknown. despite what "every major news source reported"
just all the news source reported the name of the girl who "blew her self up " later to find that that she was alive and well elsewhere

Fingerprints now reveal that TWO of the Paris suicide bombers had entered Europe through Greece a month before the attacks
Fingerprints have revealed that two of the Stade de France suicide bombers had entered Europe through Greece last month. Three jihadists blew themselves up outside the ground, as part of a number of attacks in Paris which killed 130 people.
Two of the bombers were Ahmed al Mohammad and Bilal Hafdi. The third person has not been identified.
At least one suicide bomber had a ticket to the Stade de France and wanted to enter the stadium before exploding, but was rejected by a security officer
.
Thousands of fans ran onto the pitch at the country's national stadium after the explosions went off.
It has now emerged that two of the ISIS militants were checked by Greek authorities on October 3, according to prosecutors in the French capital.
Syrian national al Mohammad arrived in Leros from Turkey, where authorities took his fingerprints.
He reportedly left in a group of six men after buying ferry tickets to mainland Europe.
He bought a ferry ticket with another man called al Mahmod, according to the BBC. They and the four men were said to have acted like close family or friends and could have posed as refugees.
The French police are now trying to track down the people who came into mainland Europe with al Mohammad and al Mahmod.
Hafdi was from Belgium and is believed to have fought for ISIS in Syria.
The five other attackers who died had links to France and Belgium.
One of the seven dead has not been identified, while a manhunt is underway for one suspect who escaped, Salah Abdeslam, 26.
French police stopped Abdeslam the morning after Friday's attacks at the Belgian border, but then let him go.
Authorities in France are said to have circulated a new image of Abdeslam, suggesting he may be hiding behind fake glasses and a wig, with a new name Yassine Baghli.
It is believed that he wants to hand himself in, but is too scared of angry ISIS commanders intent on revenge for failing his mission.
Police official Jean-Marc Falcone said he was unable to say if Abdeslam, whose brother, Brahim, blew himself up in the attacks, could be back on French territory.
The suspected ringleader, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was killed in a pre-dawn raid on Wednesday on an apartment in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis, along with Hasna Aitboulahcen, a 26-year-old woman who said she was his cousin.

that is the problem ..when you see the identical story it means that they are just republishing the same feed. i like to look for some other confirmation before i take it as fact.Originally posted by Tropicana View Post
reporting is very lazy these days. they want to get a story out and don't do much in the way of investigation ..newspapers have decreased staff and depend on wire feeds for stories.
for example that daily mail story about the finger prints has been republished in other papers yet i can find no follow up stories on that angle. suggests to me that all is not as it seems.When its hot in the jungle of peace I go swimming in the ocean of love.....Comment

I guess the Wall Street Journal's story that includes a discussion of the fingerprints isn't credible either.
Mystery deepened over a Paris attacker who traveled to Europe via Greece and the Balkans, after French officials said Monday that the Syrian passport he had used was indeed a fake.
Authorities in France and Greece have said that fingerprints taken from the remains of a suicide bomber outside France’s national sports stadium, the Stade de France, match the prints of a man who entered Europe via the Aegean island of Leros on Oct. 3.

Ringleader of Paris attacks planned more strikes, mocked open borders: sources
The ringleader behind the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris had plans to strike Jewish targets and to disrupt schools and the transport system in France, according to sources close to the investigation.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a Belgian national of Moroccan origin, also boasted of the ease with which he had re-entered Europe from Syria via Greece two months earlier, exploiting the confusion of the migrant crisis and the continent's passport-free Schengen system, the sources said on Friday.
Their comments, confirming excerpts from a confidential police witness statement leaked to a French magazine this week, fleshed out a picture of the Islamic State militant who spearheaded the Nov. 13 attacks targeting cafes, a concert hall and sports stadium in Paris in which 130 people were killed.
The witness statement, quoted in the Valeurs Actuelles weekly magazine, describes how Abaaoud approached his cousin Hasna Ait Boulahcen two days after the killing spree asking her to hide him while he prepared further attacks.
Both Abaaoud and Boulahecen died on Nov. 18 in a shootout with police in St. Denis north of Paris at an apartment where the militant Islamist had been staying.
Speaking of the planned future attacks, Abaaoud told his cousin on Nov. 15 that "they would do worse (damage) in districts close to the Jews and would disrupt transport and schools", the witness statement said.
Abaaoud said he would give Boulahecen 5,000 euros ($5,289.50) to buy two suits and two pairs of shoes for him and an unidentified accomplice to "look the part" in a planned attack on Paris' commercial district La Defense.
Paris prosecutor Francois Molins confirmed on Tuesday the militants had been plotting to attack La Defense on Nov. 18. Reuters had previously reported the planned attack.
