The terrorist was killed by police, but not before he took the lives of five people and wounded 16 others.  One of the people killed during the terror attack was 44-year-old Lt-Col Arnaud Beltrame, a French police officer who traded himself for a hostage being held in the supermarket.

Have you ever wondered why CNN is playing on every TV at most airports? Years ago, when the network passed for a non-partisan news outlet, most people didn't give it a second thought.
