Replying to France is Next

Even if you dont support the USA's actions in the war on terror, it appears your still not safe. France, of all countries, is next.

'PARIS — French officials are investigating threats against France by a radical Islamic group, the Justice Ministry said Tuesday.

The group identified itself as the 'Servants of Allah the Powerful and Wise (search),' the ministry said. It was unclear whether the group is known to French authorities. There was no initial indication of ties of Usama bin Laden's Al Qaeda organization.

The Paris prosecutor has opened an investigation.

The nature of the threats was not immediately disclosed. French Europe-1 radio reported that Le Parisien newspaper received a fax from the group, threatening attacks.

The ministry statement confirmed that a communique had been delivered to the newspaper, adding that it is 'not yet possible' to comment on the document's authenticity.

In the past weeks, French authorities have received terror threats from another little-known group that calls itself AZF (search).

The group claims to have planted nine bombs along the country's rail network and has threatened to explode them unless it is paid millions of dollars.

Information from AZF led to the recovery Feb. 21 of an explosive device buried in the bed of a railway line near Limoges (search) in central France.'
