The initial reports were 8 dead terrorists and ISIS "confirmed" this. It turns out there were only 7. I'm sure ISIS would have confirmed 7 if that was the initial report. So who knows how many there are. It could be 9 or more.

That make it obvious some other entity wrote it? Remember the first Osama video showing everyone talking around a circle? The guy was short and fat and used a different hand to write with but the major media never said a thing but "Attack Iraq". Im not saying these arent ISIS inspired lone wolves but has there been independent confirmation that ISIS took responsibility. They were silent for a while and seemed like this caught them off guard.

The play was for a Dubrovka Theater style attack on the Bataclan.
