The two men traveled to Syria in October and were allegedly planning to continue to Iraq, but were arrested by Syrian authorities who suspected them of terrorist connections, according to French judicial officials.

The men were deported from Syria to France on Tuesday, and immediately detained by French intelligence agents. An anti-terrorist judge put them under investigation — a step short of formal charges — on Saturday, according to a justice official who was not authorized to give his name.

Interesting. Wonder whether this has to do with the French agent killed in Iraq...

Why am I not surprised?
France is a terrorist country, and an enemy of the USA and free people everywhere.

They say the two were caught stealing soiled loincloths to send back to France to wrap cheese in.

I guess the steady flow of Moslem terrorists into Iraq has finally been checked. [barf alert]

Most of Iraq's support armor was manufactured in France - look up AMX as a model and a type. France, for years had a good reputation as an armor manufacturer - but of late, I believe they have tucked tail and are now running.

Meaning that these men were either agents for France, or they are agents for Al Qaeda, or these men are selling something: information, arms, etc.
