The entire world has been reeling since the awful attacks on Paris on Friday night.But one particular Twitter spambot account appeared to predict the multiple terror attacks, days before they actually occurred.On the 11th of November two days before Frances capital was targeted @PzBooks tweeted: BREAKING: Death toll from Paris terror attack rises to at least 120 with 270 others injured.And people are, understandably, pretty freaked out about the tweet.Plenty of people took the Twitter to voice their concerns, with some even labelling it a false flag a term used by conspiracy theorists for an act they think has been staged by a government or other authority.But theres actually a reasonable explanation (which is a lot less terrifying than governments staging their own terror attacks).The @PZBooks account is a spambot that regurgitates actual news from @PZF which is an actual breaking news account.@PZBooks appears to have taken two official @PZF breaking news tweets one dating back to Januarys Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris and the other from an attack on a Nigerian mosque.The account has scrambled the events and death toll together to create the alarming prediction.
