No mention of the fact that the lads are now in a printing works rather than a catering company as earlier stated.
Thatâs the nature of such a fluid and dangerous situation
Police are thought to be in negotiations with the two lads now.
Kay speculated that âThatâll be a difficult conversation wonât itâ :D:D
SKY are now telling us that helicopters âneed to refuel at some pointâ
Stay tuned for further updates

They should have an expert from Fingal on to guide them through the aviation pieces.
Itâs at times like this air-to-air refuelling capability is critical.
Kay has just been interrupted by some lad describing a picture of a helicopter. He tells us the lads in the helicopter are unlikely to be snipers 
Hollande to make a statement in the next half hour.
Sky have been talking to their guy on the ground for the last five minutes. He hasnât a clue whats going on.

Hasnt stopping him speculating wildly
[QUOTE=âJulio Geordio, post: 1069681, member: 332â]The lads have taken hostages in an industrial estate near Charles De Gaulle.
@Julio Geordio is speculating that the perps will leverage the hostages to try and get away on a flight.[/QUOTE]
What kind of a dope tags himself in his own post?
Guy on the ground said something like this âHollande to make a statement in the next half hour would suggest there is some finality to events, hard to see a situation where he makes a public address in the middle of an ongoing situation. Of course Iâm just speculatingâ
@Julio Geordio
Just like Jesus
Except with even more certainty as he ruled the middle east for a while.
is there proof of either?
@Julio Geordio is wondering if there is any connection between the printing works and the publication of the magazines?
Hollande speaking now.
Al Qaeda is plotting to massacre huge numbers of civilians in Britain and other western countries, the head of Mi5 has warned.
Andrew Parker, director general of the security service, told a select group mostly from the Royal United Services Institute at his London headquarters that while the so-called Islamic State is the newest threat to the West and that self-started lone wolf plots are hard to foil, al Qaeda still has ambitions for something more spectacular.
He said: âWe know that terrorists based in Syria harbour⌠ambitions towards the UK - trying to direct attacks against our country, and exhorting extremists here to act independently.â
But this was in addition to newly identified plans from al Qaeda to revisit their traditional style of operations.
He said: "âŚwe still face more complex and ambitious plots that follow the now sadly well-established approach of al Qaeda and its imitators: attempts to cause large scale loss of life, often by attacking transport systems or iconic targets.
âWe know, for example, that a group of core al Qaeda terrorists in Syria is planning mass casualty attacks against the West.â
Al Qaeda experts are known to have moved from Pakistan to Syria, where they may be able to draw on British volunteers to conduct attacks in the UK. Their mission is entirely focussed on plots against the West.
They are known to be led by Muhsin al Fadhli, an expert bomb maker wanted by the FBI who has a $7m price on his head. He moved to Syria two years ago and was unsuccessfully targeted in a coalition air strike last year.
It is also known that British citizens are in the ranks of al Qaeda in Syria and could be used in a major atrocity back home.
The domestic spy chief spoke hours after the UKâs COBRA committee ordered a boost to national security.
Home Secretary Theresa May said: "Following the attacks we took the precautionary step yesterday of increasing security at the French-UK border.
"The UK threat level, which is set by the independent Joint Terrorism Advisory Centre, remains at severe; that means a terrorist attack is highly likely and the public should remain vigilant.
âThis morning I chaired COBRA to consider Britainâs response to the attacks and our own preparedness to a similar attack.â
Extra police have already been deployed at British ports and stations serving the Eurostar.
Lone wolf plots aimed at the police and military have surged over the last year and these have combined with the Paris killings to cause unease among officers.
âItâs a huge worry for us,â said Sir Peter Fahy, chief constable of Greater Manchester Police.
âThere is a particular increased threat to police officers at the moment and there have been a number of attacks foiled in differed parts of the country, but I can tell you that our officers are very concerned about it⌠they see what happened in France, and clearly we are an unarmed police force but it is the nature of that threat which is worrying but despite that our officers go out there and do their duty.â
Such concerns from front line police reflect similar fears in the intelligence community. Put simply - the world is getting more dangerous.
