NormanH Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Explosives were found in Printemps-Haussmann à Paris:Have been defusedsee here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 the AFP news agency said. France's interior ministry said later that the explosives had nodetonators and were thus not primed to explode.A direct quote from your hyperlien.Strong presumption that "nodetonators" is a typographical error; french journals report that the explosive charges were not primed with detonators. An assumption confirmed by MAM; accordingly therefore not an intellectually demanding exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 The "terrorists" are suspected to be part of the same "ultra-left" group which is already under investigation in the Oct-Nov.TGV attacks:The French 'grocer terrorists'On the other hand, it could be the work of a person with a grudge: Printemps : la piste jihadiste en doute (in google English HERE)Du terrorisme commercial (in google English HERE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Quote,"They attract relatively young people, who are often highly intelligent. They start off in eco-terrorism or in the most radical wings of the animal rights or anti-capitalist movements." Thats me in the clear then [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachapapa Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Perhaps they were forced to Tarnac due to lack of accomodation in French Universities.http://www.meax.fr/public/sexy/sexe-etudiant-unef.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velcorin Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Although we live in Paris we have have a holiday home in Creuse about 8Km from Tarnac, which around there means the next Commune. It's been interesting following the local discussion on http://www.millevaches.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=190Terrorists? Mmmm! Not exactly Al-Qaeda.My wife was picked up a couple of times by the CRS on anti-nuclear marches in the 80s does that make her a terrorist? I'll wait for the trial before I make any judgement, but I have my doubts about Tarnac and terrorists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Riff-Raff Element Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I can't get over the idea that not having a mobile phone marks one out as a potential criminal. That's slightly scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
