I'd hope they're just piggybacking but French authorities confirmed a link with them and these terrorists in Paris earlier today.
Images of the man and woman holding the supermarket have been released. Both were on police terror watch lists and had previously Been arrested for trying to organise attacks preciously.
The trend president also said that several attacks had been foiled over the last few years and kept confidential in order to maintain order and not encourage further attacks by giving credence and attention to them

Melbourne Airport evacuated due to 'incident' - Police confirmed to ABC some sort of operation at Melbourne Airport.
That's gotta be unrelated
Melbourne Airport officials say passengers have been evacuated after a threat was made against a TigerAir flight with impacts across the Asian regional carrier's flights.
The incident happened at around 9.00pm and saw people evacuated from the TigerAir terminal and several planes grounded.
No other terminals were affected.
While officials would not confirm the nature of the incident passengers tweeted from the Tullamarine tarmac saying they had been warned about a possible bomb threat.
Passenger Scott Marquardt tweeted he was on "TigerAir flight 539".
"Announcement of POSSIBLE bomb threat at Melbourne airport made by flight crew," he wrote. "So my plane is sitting on the Tarmac."
Passenger Corey Ginnivan tweeted he was also stuck on the runway due to a federal police action but was waiting to be evacuated on bus.
"Currently stuck in the plane on the Tarmac because there's been an "incident" and federal police are involved...," he wrote. "Just found out that Melbourne airport has been evacuated =\ and here we are just chilling on the tarmac."
"Now pulled up at a different terminal waiting for buses to come grab us."
Also, remember this great onion article a few years back?
WASHINGTON—Following the publication of the image above, in which the most cherished figures from multiple religious faiths were depicted engaging in a lascivious sex act of considerable depravity, no one was murdered, beaten, or had their lives threatened, sources reported Thursday. The image of the Hebrew prophet Moses high-fiving Jesus Christ as both are having their erect penises vigorously masturbated by Ganesha, all while the Hindu deity anally penetrates Buddha with his fist, reportedly went online at 6:45 p.m. EDT, after which not a single bomb threat was made against the organization responsible, nor did the person who created the cartoon go home fearing for his life in any way. Though some members of the Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist faiths were reportedly offended by the image, sources confirmed that upon seeing it, they simply shook their heads, rolled their eyes, and continued on with their day.
By the way, by most accounts, his numbers are correct. I always kind of roll my eyes when people say "let's not blame Islam for the actions of a few". 100 to 200 million extremist is hardly "a few".

It'd be impossible to get a real read on numbers of those who are actually militant. it's not like they tick the relevant box on a survey or census. Its just safer for the NSA and other intelligence orginisations to prepare and work to large numbers as potential threats.

True. But, simple math would kinda indicate that number if you look at specific populations. I think it's safe to say that Islamic populations in the mid-east probably have a high percentage of extremism. Iran has a population of about 80M. Let's say 25% (which is probably a low number) have extremist views, that's about 20 million in one country alone.

Are...you...serious? If you are, then just...just...
