French Embassies Get Letter From Mysterious Group in Second Wave of Threat

[rodbarnett]

PARIS (AP) - Letters threatening terror attacks - similar to one addressed to France's prime minister - were received by French embassies in Muslim countries across the globe, officials said Tuesday.
The letters are signed by a previously unknown Islamic group identifying itself as "Servants of Allah the Powerful and Wise."

The letters, sent to two Paris newspapers and addressed to Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin, threatened terror attacks against France and French interests, saying the ban on Islamic headscarves in public schools made France an enemy of Islam.

French embassies in Muslim countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia received the same letter, the officials said. They were sent March 15 from a post office near the Louvre Museum in central Paris.

3. People here don't understand the headscarf issue. The french schools don't

allow ANY sort of religious accoutrement in their public schools. No giant crosses, no yarmulkes, nothing that denotes a religious deference. Banning the muslim headscarves places all students on equal footing, and under equal consideration.

The french believe that religion has no place in their public schools. I completely agree.
