That was last night and in Paris at 3.30 am the police stormed a flat in the city to find the mastermind of the Paris’ attack. They were raiding a flat in the suburb of Saint-Denis where they believed the Belgian Islamic Abaaood was in hiding.

The siege lasted seven hours and the battle was over after 90 minutes where a woman blew herself up, seven explosions and gunfire rocked the area.   At 6.30 am soldiers were called in because of the tough resistance.

They sprayed the place with 5,000 bullets and with all the explosions the building is now unsafe to go inside.

As the siege continued, surrounding streets were lined with troops, balaclava–clad paramilitary officers and army trucks. Neighbours commented afterwards it was like a war zone.

Three men and one woman and a man, living nearby, were arrested. The police taking DNA samples from the flat. It is believed that six people including Abaaood were there at some time.

French security forces discovered that another attack was planned on the business district of Paris.

Prosecutors have identified five of the seven dead murders. Four were Frenchmen and a man whose fingerprints traced him to Greece where he landed in a boat pretending to be a refugee.

After finding a third black Renault Clio; they think now a ninth man was directly involved but escaped.

Russia now admitted it was a bomb which broke the Russian plane in mid-air up and killed 224 people. They have now put out a £30million ransom for anyone who can give concrete information.  They also intensified the bombing on ISIS strongholds in Syria. President Putin swore that he will never stop hunting the murderser or murderers and will find them to prosecute them

HISTORY OF FC BARCELONA



The history of FC Barcelona is not only fascinating but so incredible. Surely not many people are aware of these facts.

Of all the football clubs this is an interesting history about FC Barcelona and its humble beginning.
In November 1899 when an advert appeared in the Barcelona Newspaper Los Deportes. It stated "Our friend and companion Hans Camper, former Swiss (football) champion being keen on organising some football games in the city asks anyone who feels enthusiastic enough to present themselves at the office of this newspaper any Tuesday or Friday between nine and 11pm."
Amongst all the hopefuls were three British guys Walter Wild and brothers John and William Parsons. Then came the brothers Arthur and Ernest Witty.
Wild became the first president of the newly formed Football Club Barcelona. Arthur and Earnest Witty were significant players and made sure they beat the FC Catalan. The success and the name of their home town made FC Barcelona a favourite of the Catalan nation.
Arthur Witty's grandson Michael, 74, is still living in Barcelona. He stated that his grandfather loved football. He and his brother Ernest were bored with the only other sport at that time was drinking gin. They challenged each other with running races.http://www.awltovhc.com/image-2103840-5902068http://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=10&pub=5574636337&toolid=10001&campid=5335845462&customid=2487996-14616161&uq=FC+Barcelona+DVD&mpt=410833122http://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=10&pub=5574636337&toolid=10001&campid=5335845462&customid=2487996-14615335&uq=FC+Barcelona&mpt=410833122
So far we have only the very beginning of what will be FC Barcelona. Now the first step in Barcelona's history had to be taken.
They sat down and set-up the club with their friends Hans Gamper, John and William Parsons.
Arthur Witty made some golden rules by which Barcelona still plays.
1. Play good and fair, never talk, let alone discuss or argue anything with a referee.
2. If you lose, it's because the other side played better so shake them by the hand.
3. If you get hurt, pick yourself up. Keep going.
4. Act like a gentleman at all times.
Arthur Witty became president of FC Barcelona in 1903. He imported from England the first regulation-size balls and goal nets. Then there was another Englishman Stanley Harris in the team. Arthur encouraged a lot of youngsters to the first team. They were Comamala, Hornos, Quirante and Soler. They became the first stars.
During his presidency the team played their first International matches.
Barcelona's badge includes the St George's Cross because of the English originally established the club. The Witty brothers were schooling at Merchant Taylors' school, in Crosby, on Merseyside. Arthur was a forward and Ernest a defender. A story exists but it is not proved to be true. Arthur scored a winning goal for Barcelona wearing the rugby kit from his school. Therefore, the colours of blue and crimson were adopted by FC Barcelona and became famous. The story is plausible.
Michael, the grandson of Arthur, was remembering that when he was schooling in England his grandfather used to send him all the newspaper clipping showing Barcelona's results.
Michael said: "He would love the current team, he was very keen on home grown players and he would be so proud of the fact that eight of the Barca team were brought up here."

In 1917 the first full-time manager was elected and it was Jack Greenwell, another English influence. Greenwell played in England in a non-league team in Crook Town, Co Durham. He resigned as manger of Barcelona in 1923 but was so well regarded that they brought him back in 1931. He took the club to the top of the league again.
When the civil war started and General Franco forbids the Catalans to use their own native language the club took on another meaning. The people smuggled in their flags and spoke in their own language. The old stadium became a place to intentify with their culture and speak their language which is not Spanish.
Over the years there were an almost endless famous players coming through the iconic Camp Nou stadium and its club FC Barcelona.
World famous player Dutch legend John Cruyff was the only one who the longest time was being a manager.
Seven English managers which include the much loved Bobby Robson, Terry Venable who was nick named El Tel signed on big names like Steve Archibald and Mark Hughes, Gary Liniker was bought for £3million which was enormous for the '80s but he was a goal scorer and had a hat-trick in a 3-2 win over their enemies Real Madrid.
