Twenty men were convicted for their roles in the November 2015 terror attacks in Paris, which left 130 people dead, including 90 who were attending an Eagles of Death Metal show at the Bataclan theatre, The New York Times reports.
The 10-month trial largely centered around Salah Abdeslam, whom prosecutors believed to be the sole surviving member of the Islamic State extremist cell that carried out the attack, which also targeted restaurants, bars, and the national sports stadium. Abdeslam was found guilty of all the charges against him, including murder as part of an organized terrorist gang.

Ahhhh, the early days of DVD.

One year on from a terrorist attack at the Bataclan Theater in Paris, France, Sting helped re-open the music venue with a sombre and emotional concert on Saturday.
Indie rock band Eagles of Death Metal were in the middle of a sold-out gig at the venue on Nov. 13 last year when terrorists stormed the theater, taking concertgoers hostage and killing 89 people, including the group’s merchandise manager Nick Alexander.
Watch: Paris Attacks: At Least 100 People Killed at Concert Hall
"In re-opening the Bataclan, we have two important tasks to reconcile," Sting told the crowd in French, later writing in English on his Instagram page. "First, to remember and honor those who lost their lives in the attack a year ago, and second to celebrate the life and the music that this historic theater represents. In doing so we hope to respect the memory as well as the life-affirming spirit of those who fell. We shall not...

Given the tragic events that occurred in Paris just 30 hours earlier, Saturday Night Live opted to begin their latest episode with a show of solidarity to France instead of their usual cold open. "Paris is the city of light, and here in New York City, we know that light will never go out," Cecily Strong told the audience. "Our love and support is with everyone there tonight. We stand with you." Strong then delivered SNL's message again, this time in French.

The Delta Force
Written by James Bruner and Menahem Golan
Directed by Menahem Golan
U.S.A., 1986
Based on the real life plane hijacking by Hezbollah terrorists in 1985, just a year before the film’s release, The Delta Force follows a curious path to complete its narrative. Beginning some miles away from the Iranian capital of Iran, the U.S. special forces platoon Delta Force sees its operation to rescue hostages thwarted by poor planning in Washington. Disgusted by the bureaucracy’s incompetent meddling in their affairs, Major Scott McCoy (Chuck Norris) resigns under Colonel Nick Alexander (Lee Marvin). He is very soon encouraged to return to action however, as Lebanese terrorists, led by Abdul Rafai (Robert Forster!) have taken over an American flight heading from Cairo to New York with a stop in Athens along the way. The Delta Force must concoct a way to neutralize the fanatical villains...

Scientists have worked tirelessly since the invention of Blu-ray looking for a way to capture the essence of Chuck Norris onto a high-definition disc. No matter how hard they tried though his fists, jaw and body hair refused to be contained long enough for the transfer to take. But finally, in the year of our Lord 2012, six years after the format’s debut… they’ve succeeded. Seven of Chuck Norris’ classics are now available in HD. The Delta Force (1986) is a step down from Chuck Norris‘ previous film, Code of Silence, in more ways than one. The action leaves more realistic gun fights behind in favor of cartoonish, over the top, shoot from the hip gun-play. The script ignores real drama and conflict for explosions and pro-Americuh jingo-isms. Most detrimentally, it trades director Andrew Davis for Menahem “Ahem” Golan. A jumbo jet in Athens is hijacked by Lebanese terrorists (led by Robert Forster, obviously...

What does a man listen to before propelling himself off a hill and into a suicide flight position? The answer is "Stabbing the Drama" by Swedish metal band Soilwork for U.S. ski jumper Nick Alexander, who's in Whistler today for large hill qualifying. "Reason why? The guitar is off-the-hook, especially in the chorus. Nothing sounds better than when Soilwork grinds the absolute hell out of those deeply tuned guitars. The drum set is also unbelievable. Punchy double bass and a snappy snare get me ready to ski jump like nothing else will." We've asked a variety of athletes from...
