Paris attack witness says white, clean shaven, professional gunmen in black Mercedes massacred diners

S.O.T.T: SIL has claimed responsibility for this heinous act. ISIL has also cultivated a particular image through its propaganda videos. Yet eye witnesses describe the antithesis of that image. No masks, no headbands with slogan printed on them, no flags (remember Charlie Hebdo?) Instead it's white men, clean-shaven with professional military demeanor. Very strange.
