There's a bad feeling in the air these days, too many people are spoiling for a fight.

I gather Obama is currently making up his mind whether or not this was 'terrorism', Sabot. He never calls terrorism for what it is; the Fort Hood massacre was written off as 'workplace violence'.

Austria condemns deadly shooting attack in Paris

Austrian officials expressed their condolences and condemned the deadly shooting attack in Paris on Wednesday, according to local media reports.

Austrian President Heinz Fischer on Wednesday expressed his shock over the incident in a letter of condolence to French President Francois Hollande, condemning the attack which killed 12 people, saying the tragedy was completely unjustifiable.

Masked gunmen shot dead 12 people in the capital city of France, before escaping in a getaway car. The attack was considered France's deadliest gunmen attack to date.

Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann has expressed his condolences after the attack in Paris, stressing that such an attack could not attack the values of democracy and humanity.

"We must continue to defend our basic values such as the press and freedom of expression with emphasis," Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz said in a press release Wednesday.

French police during the night between Wednesday and Thursday released still pictures of two men suspected to have been involved in Wednesday's shooting attack at satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Police are hunting three French nationals, including brothers Said Kouachi, born in 1980; Cherif Kouachi, born in 1982; and Hamyd Mourad born in 1996, after suspected Islamist gunmen killed 12 people.

An official at the Paris prosecutor's office, who declined to identify the man, said an 18-year old man had turned himself in at a police station in Charleville-Mézières, in north-eastern France.

Officials said late Wednesday that two of the suspects were brothers. They were identified as Said and Chérif Kouachi, 34 and 32. The third suspect is Hamyd Mourad, 18. News reports said the brothers, known to intelligence services, had been born in Paris, raising the prospect that homegrown Muslim extremists were responsible.

Early Thursday, a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor said that Mr. Mourad had walked into a police station in Charleville-Mézières, about 145 miles northeast of Paris, and surrendered.
