France Threatened With Attacks by `Servants of Allah'

[Kellanved]

March 16 (Bloomberg) -- An Islamic group today threatened to attack France and French interests, prompting an investigation by prosecutors in Paris, Agence France-Presse reported.

The threats from a group calling itself ``Servants of Allah, the Powerful and Wise One'' were relayed to Prime Minister Jean- Pierre Raffarin in a message sent to Le Parisien newspaper, AFP cited the French Justice Ministry as saying in a statement.

The message included ``threats against both the national territory and our interests abroad,'' the ministry said.

``It is obviously not yet possible to assess the worth of this message,'' AFP cited the ministry as saying. Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy told AFP the threats were being analyzed. Further information wasn't available.

1. Guess France better pony up some expendable crusaders for Iraq

or Syria, or Iran. Or maybe they'd like Algeria, they know the territory already...

2. I guess the head scarf ban is not going over well

with some people...

7. Would someone bomb innocent people over a headscarf?

If they would, would the French rescind the headscarf ban?

3. Bull. This is too convenient for the repukes dipshit candidate

here in the u.s. Freepers would love to see France terrorized.

Here's a clue.. it didn't work against the spaniards and it won't work against the french. The world will NOT unite behind president AWOL no matter what extremes he takes to get elected.

5. They were cheering for the heat wave last year

gleefully counting the bodies as they broiled.
