Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has responded to a recent upsurge in a ISIS inspired insurgency in his country by once again threatening to hunt down and cannibalise terrorists.
Duterte promised to personally hunt down terrorists and after the hunt is complete, he would prepare to eat the organs of a captured terrorist. Duterte described his rather humble preparations for cannibalism by saying,

Assad defined his open door to future allies in the war against terrorism in the following way,

In an apparent terrorist attack, a gunman on the historic Champs-Elysées avenue in the center of Paris has opened fire at police officers, killing 1 and wounding 2 others.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack.
France 24 reported that the home of the dead suspect was being searched. Champs-Elysées had been closed down after the attack.

According to Assad, the incident was either a Syrian bombing of terrorist held locations which may or may not have included a chemical weapons depot, as early Russian reports suggested or alternatively, there was simply no chemical attack at all.
