CHILLING – AT 9:27 A.M. ET:  As we fight our bizarre election campaign, the world is not stopping.  Terrorists are not stopping.  From Reuters: 

Authorities have reportedly uncovered the first all-female Islamic State cell in France after several suspects were detained over alleged plans to attack the Eiffel Tower.

The four-woman cell's purported leading member was arrested last week in connection to an explosives-laden car found near another Paris landmark - the Notre Dame cathedral.

The leading suspect, an alleged 29-year-old mother-of-three was named as Ornella Gilligman. She reportedly told French authorities that her jihadi cell had preferred to target the iconic Eiffel Tower, and not in fact the cathedral.

The other three members of France's purported first all-female ISIS cell were supposedly named as Ines Madani, 19, Sarah Hervouet, 23, and Amel Sakaou, 39. As of Sunday, authorities were still questioning the three.

On Friday, the Paris prosecutor announced that the three women were arrested after the car was found. He said they were directed by Islamic State militants in Syria and were completely committed to the cause.

COMMENT:  The "junior varsity," as Obama put it, strikes again.  And it will continue to strike.

ISIS is losing territory in Syria and Iraq.  That is good news.  But it is responding by increasing its international terrorism.  Most Americans, according to polls, expect an attack in the United States in the near future.  We hope they are wrong.  We fear they are right.
