Actually, that's easy to do - the press gave practically no details about this, and you had to piece it together. I think that without the demonstration by Jews in Paris the other day, the press would still be hiding it.

I agree, the reports were quite vague, I suppose evasive might not be too strong a word. I thought that may have been due to the general lack of interest in foreign news, also on a desire by France to not keep looking like such a lawless place, as it has been looking. But perhaps the French press is also, or primarily, to blame.
