It seems that it wasn&#8217;t Marines at all who stopped the terrorist from unleashing his dastardly plot. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2015\/08\/22\/3-us-servicemen-describe-terrifying-attack-on-european-train\/?intcmp=hpbt1\">Fox News<\/a>;  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Anthony Sadler, a senior at Sacramento State University, was traveling with childhood friends Spencer Stone, of Carmichael, California, and Alek Skarlatos, a National Guardsmen from Roseburg, Oregon, when they heard a gunshot and breaking glass.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Spencer Stone tackled the fellow while he was charging down the hallway trying to charge his weapon, he had a box cutter and sliced Stone with the weapon. That&#8217;s when they beat him unconscious and tied him up. Stone&#8217;s injuries aren&#8217;t life-threatening. Another passenger was injured and he&#8217;s expected to recover, too. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>French Interior Minister Bernad Cazenueve, speaking in Arras where the train was diverted, said the Americans \u201cwere particularly courageous and showed great bravery in very difficult circumstances,\u201d and that \u201cwithout their sangfroid we could have been confronted with a terrible drama.\u201d He also called for caution before jumping to conclusions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2015\/aug\/21\/amsterdam-paris-train-gunman-france\">The Guardian<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Skarlatos, who had recently returned from a tour of duty in Afghanistan with the national guard, told Sky News the gunman\u2019s AK-47 had jammed and that he had not known how to fix it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf that guy\u2019s weapon had been functioning properly, I don\u2019t even want to think about how it would have went,\u201d he said. \u201cWe just did what we had to do. You either run away or fight. We chose to fight and got lucky and didn\u2019t die.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Because terrorists are just stupid &#8211; they watch too many movies.<\/p>\n<p>The French authorities are still trying to figure out the Moroccan&#8217;s motivations, but I think that we can guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, there&#8217;s a clearer picture of what happened on that high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris &hellip; <a title=\"Fighting terrorism &#8220;over there&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61519\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Fighting terrorism &#8220;over there&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61520,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/61520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
