The attack in Nice

The terror attack in Nice is staggering, and hideous. From the CNN report, below: French President Hollande, "addressing his country following its third major terrorist attack in 18 months, described the assault as an 'unspeakable act' and vowed that France would 'be able to overcome all trials.' "

A terrible week

This past week was a terrible and tragic one, in America. First, there were the shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana. And then, the ambush murders of the officers in Dallas.

Here is a New York Times editorial; it is titled "The Horror in Dallas, a Country Drowning in Grief.".

Suicide attacks in Saudi Arabia earlier this week

ISIS hasn't, as of this writing, claimed responsibility for three attacks in Saudi Arabia earlier this week. The story below notes, however, that "Islamic State extremists have attacked the kingdom repeatedly in recent years, mostly targeting the Shiite minority and state security personnel."

From the story:  "The Medina attack struck the security office of the mosque where the Prophet Muhammad is said to be buried, an important stop for millions of pilgrims who visit the holy cities each year. Four security officers died in the attack, [television news channel] Al Arabiya said, in addition to a suicide bomber."

Bangladesh

And now, tragedy in Bangladesh. ISIS has taken credit for the murders. The sickness, the cancer, that is jihadist terrorism continues.
