THE THREE SUSPECTS, who were taken into custody Monday in suburban Paris, had possession of unidentified chemicals, plus $5,000 in cash, a computer and Islamic propaganda documents, Le Figaro and Le Parisien newspapers reported.
Unnamed intelligence sources said the suspects, two Algerians and one Moroccan, formed an active operational network and were planning an attack on Paris around Christmas, Europe 1 radio reported.
The suspects, who police believe have spent time in Afghanistan and Chechnya, were taken into custody in the northern Paris suburb of La Courneuve on orders from top anti-terrorist judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere, news reports said.
Europe 1 terrorism expert Frederic Helbert told NBC News that nuclear, biological and chemical protection suits were used by the military to handle toxic products found, in addition to containers of gas.

I can't believe it. Everybody knows that France supports the Palestinians, and they don't do any nasty things to upset Muslims...not like America or Australia... Why would anyone even think of using Weapons of Mass Destruction in terrorist acts on French soil? Unbelievable...
<Sarcasm intended>
Le Pen?
Please tell me you picked up the sarcasm in Greenhat's original post...
That would be like attacking the UK because we have the BNP. So that's unlikely isn't it?
It's equally wrong not to admit this is a war between Muslim extremists and the West.
How many universally friendly countries have you ever come across?
As for the massive support for Le Pen, I wouldn't be too sure about that. Look at the uproar within France when it looked like that's exactly what he would get - support. Perhaps the biggest issue there was his lack of effective opposition...
BTW Isn't it this country which is electing BNP councillors?
I agree that it may have been politics not ideology that gave le Pen such a large vote but I'm sure there are still a large number that agree with him on key issues for him to have done so well.
yes the BNP have made some gains which is a sad reflection of the people and the system of this country........
but it isn't that which makes us a target...
Point being that it isn't Le Pen that makes France a target, if anything they are more friendly to Arab nations than any other western nation (which country is still "friends" wil Iraq?), their problem is that they aren't Muslim.
I think being friends to the Arab regimes is part of the problem, these regimes are oppresive dictatorships for the most parts, being a friend of the rulers is not being a friend of the people.........
When I lived their in 94/95 we had bomb reports nearly every two weeks.
This is unlikely to be Al Queda, most likely the same bunch of Algerian fruitcakes as previously.
At any rate, of all the countries in Europe, France has one of the finest Anti-Terrorism infrastructures (from investigation to prosecution). Very few terrorist incidents there ever come off successfully (though there have been a few).
Just wait and see how many decent law abiding Americans have their lives ruined by Bush's new "super police" (aka the DHD) by being accused of having "links to Al Quaeda" on the basis of evidence which they wont even be allowed to see or prepare a defence against. Yep its the McCarthy Era mach II and the public just continues grazing like sheep. :rolleyes:
With any luck, Clandestine's will be one of them...
With whats going on at the moment you could actually get banned for that..:rolleyes: :eek2:
Note the
Then all of us could be banned. After all, discussing politics upsets people.
Seems the thought police have resurfaced and are living the high life within the context of the USA Patriot Act and the DHD. Yep America's constitution is dying a death at the hands of the Bush Admin, if it hasnt for all intents and purposes died already....

A minor incident you may claim, but its one more stone in a wall of oppression that I warned would inevitably follow Bush's demand for an authoritarian police state.
And this is the kind of government behaviour you are proud to die for? lol. :rolleyes:
Brainwashed for sure!
I can't link it from my school's PC. But you can get the article by going to Yahoo UK/ Ireland, UK/Ireland News, Top Stories, go all the way down to earlier stories.
There were seven of them.
"There is no doubt, given the elements found, that one or several terrorist actions were being prepared in the more or less short term,"
They trained in soviet Georgia.
I'll bet you defend FDR, LBJ and Bill Clinton, though, don't you? Each of which did far more to damage the US Constitution than anything by the current administration.
Frankly I'd be interested to hear your lovely anti-Clinton excuses of how he betrayed the constitution given that more Americans prospered and enjoyed the liberties guaranteed to us by our founding fathers under his admin. However, even if he did betray it to some minimal extent, it pales by comparison to the resurgent McCarthyism we have been saddled with as a nation today.
If you and your men think it's patriotic to throw your lives away for such blatant opression and fascism then go right ahead.
Frankly, I don't see the value of sending American men and women to die in the streets of Baghdad (or in whatever country may be next) all in the furtherance of this or any admin's corrupt agendas.
I suggest you read the US Constitution.
Keep on trying Greeny, you do provide such endless amounts of humour for the thinking classes!
Actually, that would be you.
