Lyon, France - A 15-year-old French schoolboy sprayed a teacher with teargas after she described al-Qaeda as a “terrorist group”, she told reporters on Tuesday as prosecutors began their investigation.
“I had just explained that the attacks on September 11, 2001 were carried out by the terrorist organisation al-Qaeda, as is written in the text book,” said the history teacher, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“He stood up and declared that al-Qaeda is not terrorist and that neither is the Taliban,” she said, adding that the boy had then pulled out a spray can and doused her and a teaching assistant with teargas.

Iraqi yob who spat on WWII hero’s medals escapes jail ( England )

An Iraqi-born yob who spat on a World War II hero’s medals on Remembrance Day yesterday escaped jail.
Serwan Abdullah, 23, targeted Timothy House while he was wearing his late grandfather’s honours after a commemorative parade.
Mr House, 44, who was recovering from a broken hip and was also looking after a 91-year-old wheelchair-bound veteran when the attack happened, said he was left ‘outraged and very angry’.
Abdullah showed no remorse and told officers he had done ‘nothing wrong’ adding: ‘F*** him and f*** his medals.’
The medals Mr House was wearing were awarded to former paratrooper Company Sgt Major Steadman who fought at Dunkirk and in North Africa.
During an illustrious career he was awarded an array of medals including the Palestine Medal, The Africa Star, The Italy Star and the 1939-1945 Star.
In a statement read at Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court yesterday, Mr House said: ‘This is one of the most important days of the year for me because my grandfather fought in Word War II.
‘Since he died in 1991 I have always worn his medals for him. I have been attending Remembrance Day parades for as long as I can remember.’
Falklands veteran Chris Purcell, a parade martial with the Royal British Legion in Portsmouth, described Abdullah’s actions as ‘despicable’.
The 50-year-old former petty officer said: ‘To spit on the medals of a man who fought for our country is disgusting. It’s a huge insult.
‘Everyone in this country should be able to wear their medals and the medals of their relatives with pride.’
