The attack at a time when peace talks are to be held obviously is an attempt to derail the peace process. The terrorists should be ignored, for now and if the warring sides decide to work together, fighting and defeating those who don't want peace will be somewhat easier.

The infighting amongst people of Arab descent is so disheartening. One of the worst thing about this situation is that they are not content to limit the hostilities amongst themselves only. The are now seeking to involve the global community; each faction wanting to force their ideology and way of life on everyone else. Isis is one of the organizations which have evolved from this kind of thinking and we have seen how brutal and devastating they can be.
