Homicidal Madness on Friday the 13th

• LewRockwell

At least eight young jihadists, allegedly from the so-called  Islamic State group, attacked the national sports stadium, where President Francois Hollande was attending a soccer match with Germany's foreign minister. They also attacked  outdoor cafes, a pizzeria and a rock club.

As of this writing, 127 civilians were killed and dozens wounded.  All of the attackers are believed to have died.  For the second time this year, Paris is terror-struck and shaken to its foundation.  Pope Francis aptly described the attacks as "homicidal madness." 

What was Islamic State's objective in attacking all these improbable soft targets?  Madness is not a sufficient motive. Clearly, Islamic State's 20-somethings were bombing and shooting up targets that youngsters frequented, like a pizzeria or Friday night heavy metal concert.  Their objective: to kill as many people as possible in a pure revenge attack.
