Meanwhile, the Belgian prime minister advised citizens not to travel to Paris unless it was strictly necessary.

In other news, thieves broke in through the roof an Army Reserve armory in Worcester, Massachusetts, and made off with six M4 assault rifles, ten pistols, and several long guns. Authorities hastily assured the public that the incident had nothing to do with terrorism. Or Islam, for that matter. …
