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
- French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve praised the Marines who almost certainly 'averted a disaster'
- The gunman is understood to have boarded the train, which had more than 500 passengers, in Brussels, Belgium
Later reports indicate a U.S. Airman, an Oregon National Guardsman, and a civilian (college student) from Sacramento.
