All power to the Afghan Revolutionary Front!

Fresh from their success at arresting the wrong people for a spate of sabotage on the railways see below and a series of moronic incidents that a load of German Greens have owned up to), the French interioir services are changing the subject by planting a few sticks of dynamite in a department store and blaming it on a 'shadowy' group 'believed-to-be-linked-to-al-qaeda' called the Afghan Revolutionary Front "Qui est le Front révolutionnaire afghan, ce groupe inconnu jusqu'ici qui a revendiqué avoir placé des explosifs retrouvés, mardi 16 décembre, au Printemps ?" Who are these FRA people (who indeed, in fact a couple of security guys having a laugh in a room in the Rue de Securité somewhere in Paris) - be afraid be very afraid is the media message, that and 'Support or Troops' against these terrorists! Plus, it takes the craven climb down by Darcos off the top story slot.
