French police said yesterday they had found explosives, detonators and guns stashed in a suburban Paris garage in swoops this week that have netted 28 suspected Islamist militants, apparently with links to al-Qaida in Iraq.
Interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy said that questioning suspects detained on Monday had led to arms seizure in Clichy-sous-Bois, outer Paris, on Wednesday. "A certain number of terrorists, in order to finance their activities, are involved in organised crime," Mr Sarkozy said, appearing to confirm earlier reports that the gang raised cash through armed robberies rather than carrying out terrorist attacks.
Among arms found were a kilo of TNT, 19 sticks of dynamite, 10 standard detonators - one capable of being set off by remote control - fuses, rifles, bulletproof vests, and French gendarmerie and special forces uniforms, police said.

Looks like the molotov's have been replaced by the IED's.

Swoops are good.
We all like a good swoop every now and then.

Clichy-sous-Bois, a suburb of Vichy-les-Collaburator I believe.

Unfortunately, the French Police will be led by the Chirac crowd, who will undermine them and kiss "muslim student" butts to avoid being called "intolerant".

The title scared me.
I thought Paris was hanging

Merci, blam!
Perhaps the real story here is that some of the cash pipelines from Islamofacsist "charities", Sadaam's billions and parts of the Saudi royal family are becomming more scarce.
Good tidings to us, eh? And Merry Christmas to you!

Wow. I never knew that Paris doubled as a French Counter-Terrorist Operative.

P.R.O.P.* PING!
{*Phony Religion Of Peace} followers of "Madman Mo'" the child molesting false prophet, are not, as it turns out, so peaceful after all!
Enormous arms cache found in Frogland; mass of weapons of destruction found. Was it a museum? A mosque? The latest statement in Fall-of-Civilisation fashion? Will France now "rive droit"?
Stay tuned and well armed for the excitement, boys and girls! In this time when the cold winds of war are blowing, be sure to check in regularly on your elderly and shut-in neighbors, and be certain their ammunition is not running low! And remember, firearms are a thoughtful Christmas/Channukah gift {the Festival of "light 'em up"}!

I wonder if the interrogators did anything that made the terrorists uncomfortable or embarrassed?
To: AmericanArchConservative
Holy handgrenades! What about "freedom of religion?"
They need these objects to carry out their "religious duties!"
