VERSAILLES, France - A young woman and her baby were attacked in a suburban train near Paris on Saturday by unidentified men who drew swastikas on her stomach with a pen in what police said was an anti-Semitic assault.
The six attackers who were armed with knives clipped the 23-year-old woman's hair, and cut her t-shirt and pants before drawing three swastikas on her body.
The men of North African origin also overturned the pram with her baby of 13 months.
In the attack they robbed her backpack which contained her identity papers, a bank card and 200 euros ($250).
Police said the attackers erroneously assumed the woman was Jewish because she was living in Paris' posh 16th district.
"Only Jews live in the 16th district," one of the men was quoted as having said.
French President Jacques Chirac expressed his horror and condemned what he called "a shameful attack."
The perpetrators must be found, held accountable and condemned with the full severity of the law, a statement issued by his office said.
French Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin asked police to find the attackers within the shortest possible time, his ministry said in a statement.
The attack was "all the more serious because it was marked by racism and anti-Semitism," he said.

Noth African origin is another way of saying mooslum.

Mistakes like this would be avoided if the French just marked all Jews....maybe force them to sew Stars of David on their clothing or tatoo them.
(I wish I was kidding, but don't think the French haven't already thought of this).

Why didn't any of the red-blooded real men on the train come to her defense? Oh, right, it was Europe. Never mind.

I now assume that the SOB Frogs are hassling Nord women and Japanese Grandmothers in an effort to look like they are "doing SOMETHING", while not actually doing ANYTHING against the Islamazis that pay his regime off...wouldn't want that gravy train to stop, nor would the EuroWeenies actually ADMIT that the Islamazis ARE the problem!

I'm sorry these alleged attacks have become fertile ground for hoaxsters. Need a witness or two.

Your comment is reminiscence of the attitude of those who would follow the cinematic fantasies of Michael Moore.

More attacks on Jews encouraged directly by the French government
which has worked hard to make France a very sh&tty little terrorist country.
========= Sderot =========
FIRST HAMAS ROCKET ATTACK SUCCESSFULLY MURDERS JEWS
INCLUDING A THREE YEAR OLD - American mainstream media silent.
Near Sderot, Hamas and Palestinian terrorists fire a Qassam missile
used to murder Jewish children and infants, funded by the UN, EU and
this week, especially France which encouraged Arafat, serial murderer of
handicapped Americans and innocent children to murder again.
In Sderot, the Qassam rocket lands to murder innocent Jews in their nursery school.
In Sderot, the Palestinian and Hamas rocket landed next to the kindergarten
murdering two innocent Israelis, including a three-year-old boy
on his way to the nursery school.
In Sderot, southern Israel, the funerals including
the three-year-old child murdered by Qassam rocket.
========= Ramallah =========
French Terrorist-Enabler Michel Bernier congratulates serial murderer and terrorist Arafat
on his successful rocket murder of a 3 year old child and another innocent Jew.
Some say the two subhuman terrorists also agreed to ramp up
the rate of murdered Jews in both France and Israel.

The french thought they would be immune if they didn't join in the fight against the radicals, but this proves that they can't pretend it's not happening.
If you act like cowards, the bullies are drawn like a magnet.
