FRENCH intelligence has produced a dossier alleging that al-Qaeda plans an attack on the country during forthcoming presidential elections.
The Arabic-language al-Hayat daily newspaper has reported there were “several indications of a plot to copy the Spanish scenario in France”, a reference to the explosions that rocked Madrid in March 2004.
The London-based daily quoted mainly “messages posted on internet sites close to al-Qaeda carrying threats against France, accompanied by pictures from the campaigns for the presidential elections”, which are slated for April and May.
The newspaper said the eight-page intelligence report took three months to prepare and included contributions from different French intelligence services which identified “four sources of threat”.
But but but… Didn’t not attacking Iraq make France safer somehow? I mean, why would muslim terrorists want to attack France? France was one of the good guys. They had a more informed and diplomatic worldview! They’re the good guys dammit!
Face it. Whether or not anyone attacked Iraq, fundamentalist terrorist scumbags want you dead if you don’t submit to Allah.
The sooner you understand that, the better.
