The Telegraph reports on how al-Qaeda operatives smuggled antiaircraft missile launchers into France in 2002. There were plans to hit the Eiffel Tower, Russian embassy in Paris, and a Christmas market in Strasbourg.

The Russians were targeted for the war in Chechnya.

The French were targeted because they were part of the US-led invasion of Iraq and over the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory.

Oh wait, the French weaseled out of the Iraq invasion and they’re patrons of the PLO.

Gee, maybe al-Qaeda doesn’t like the French either????
