I am so glad that man is alive and I wish him a true recovery and a happy life. Overwhelming sadness hearing his story.

He was fortunate to survive, but this man probably won't have a moment's peace for the rest of his life. The horror that he witnessed won't soon be forgotten.

"I looked into the face of the Devil". This is so painful but important to hear. The loss of humanity is the seeds of the end of humanity. While this evil must be eliminated... the ability to continue to slaughter innocents must be stopped... the great challenge of our time is to find a pathway through which love can eventually triumph over hate. Where the leaders who can show us that way forward will come from, I do not know. But such leadership is ultimately humanity's only hope.

It's not possible to understand how people can be so evil.

[emmasalva]

Praying for quick recovery and healing for you brother.

Never seen Amanpour break down like this. Truly a horrific event and there needs to be justice

[thekidblack]

Pray for the innocent people on both sides

This is horrible. How can human beings have such heart of stone without any feelings. My prayers to all the victims family

“ I saw a girl…her body parts everywhere…she was still alive…crawling to kiss her dead boyfriend.” Too much to bear.

I'm so sorry for all the innocents that were murdered and kidnapped, my heart is with you all.

[glenyssmith]

It really hits you when you realize they don't even treat animals like that. Humanity has lost its collective minds. Please pull for the middle guys.

Baruch HaShem you survived… may He send healing to your body, mind, soul, and spirit. So sorry for your loss…

[lightworkeight]

Good lord, how lucky is he? A shelter just 2m x 2m with 2 grenades and he survived with only an arm injury. Miraculous, simply miraculous.

Condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones

[TheLeslieMichelle]

I was praying that there would be survivors...I'm thankful he's alive. My condolences go out to those lost and to their families and friends.

[peekabooiseeyou]

I can't like this, it makes me so sad. You went through this. Thank you for sharing your terrifying experience.

Thankfully he survived to tell his story. He said the terrorist face looked like the devil; that’s because that is who governs SIN; the DEVIL. This is a spiritual warfare. And just like God is real so is the devil. Anyone who condones and supports this EVIL is part of the problem;and not the solution. Prayers for all involved in this tragedy.

[JeanneMarie_Bby]

This is awful. 😢im so sorry for what all these innocent people have went through and continue to go through on both sides. My heart goes out to them all.

Imagine the trauma: one moment you’re laughing dancing enjoying the good energy and then suddenly ppl start dropping dead around you, you begin hearing screams and panic sets in you realize you’re in very serious danger. It would take a few minutes to even realize what is happening. Sad
