Daily Mail: Unarmed US Marines foil suspected terrorist attack onboard high-speed train between Amsterdam and Paris after they take down Kalashnikov-wielding Moroccan gunman known to intelligence services
* A suspected Moroccan terrorist opened fire with a Kalashnikov on board a high speed train in northern France
* Eyewitnesses said two U.S. Marines on the train disarmed the 26-year-old gunman and pinned him to the ground
* The man was armed with a Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle and was carrying at least 300 round of ammunition
* French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve praised the Marines who almost certainly 'averted a disaster'
A group of unarmed US Marines on board a high-speed train between Amsterdam and Paris foiled a terrorist attack after a gunman opened fire with an assault rifle, wounding three people.
The 26-year-old Moroccan national, who was known to security services, came out of the toilet brandishing the gun and opened fire. Fortunately, two US Marines were nearby and overpowered him before he could massacre passengers.
WNU Editor: This suspect clearly wanted to kill everyone. The passengers are incredibly lucky that these off-duty US Marines were on this train.

Wow.
This could have been deadly; the media and political firestorm that would follow would be significant - much like the Charlie Hebdo shootings.
Incredibly lucky, and very brave men.
