SNIPPET: "A French couple arrested in connection with a series of anarchist attacks on the country's rail network have been linked by the FBI to a bomb attack in New York."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "French anti-terrorist police are holding 10 alleged members of a violent anarchist movement suspected of sabotaging power cables on high speed TGV train lines.
But it now transpires that the alleged culprits were netted thanks to information from the FBI, which allegedly linked two of them to the home-made bomb attack on an army recruitment centre in New York's Times Square in March.
Julien Coupat, 34, the suspected head of the "anarcho-autonomist" group, and his 25-year old girlfriend, known only as Yldune L, were stopped allegedly trying to enter Canada from the US illegally in January. It was claimed they were carrying anarchist texts in English and photos of an army recruitment centre in New York.
Although they had left the US before the bomb attack, they had allegedly been spotted shortly before at American anarchist meetings in New York. Tipped off by the FBI, France's domestic intelligence services and anti-terrorist police had been watching them for months in a tiny village in the Corrèze region, central France."

the anarchists’ goals are:
1) not have to shower
2) unrelenting sex with anything and everyone
3) free tattoos
4) free drugs
5) no dress shirts or ties
6) free cable
7) better youtube posting skills
8) freedom to kill their parents
All in the name of personal choice to destroy oneself in a mindless manner, because,...well, they are disturbed.
Man, you answered more questions than I knew I had. Thanks!
APRIL 19, 2006 : (FRANCE : BOMB FOUND ON RAIL LINE) A bomb capable of damaging track and derailing a high-speed train was found on the Paris-Nantes rail line in western France yesterday [APRIL 19].Anti-terrorist police launched an investigation after the device, a plastic tube containing chlorate fuel wired to a battery-operated timer, was seen by a railway worker during a routine track inspection near Angers. There were no reports of any group admitting responsibility. One official said the timer had gone off without causing the bomb to explode, adding: “If it had done, it could have damaged the track and caused a derailment.” Two years ago, a group calling itself AZF tried to blackmail the French government by threatening to bomb TGV lines. One device was planted, but bore no resemblance to yesterday’s bomb.———— Bomb found on French railway ,” BY Colin Randall , The Daily Telegraph ^ | Thursday, April 20, 2006 |

French gendarmes patrol railway lines after bomb threats The group, which calls itself AZF after a chemical factory that exploded in Toulouse in September 2001 killing 31 people, has been in contact with the interior ministry since December [2003] when it sent its first letter.
For several weeks, investigators and AZF have been swapping messages through letters, telephone calls, even the personals column of a newspaper....
On Monday night, the government sent a helicopter carrying the ransom to an airfield near Montargis, south of Paris. The terrorists said they would mark the spot where they wanted the money to be left with a white tarpaulin. The police said they could not find the marker in the dark.

I'm not sure, but I'll ask at our next United Anarchists meeting. That is, when we do have one. We just can't seem to ever get organized enough to decide on a time and place. /S
MARCH 2008 : (NY : RECRUITING STATION BOMBING INVESTIGATION —) The police are also determining whether the bombing is linked to five other bombings in the past 11 years. Besides the 2005 British Consulate and October 2007 Mexican Consulate bombings, where a bicyclist threw a bomb in the 3-4 a.m. time period (and these bombs used black powder, like Thursday’s bomb), there’s also a 2000 bombing outside the Barclays Bank on Wall Street (an ammunition box - like the Times Square bomb - was used), a 1997 bomb outside 222 Broadway - across from City Hall - used “coffee cans packed with black powder” and another 1997 bombing using a coffee can outside of Planet Hollywood, when it was located on West 57th Street. -———Latest news from Gothamist blog, NYPD: Trashed Bike May Be Times Square Bomber’s http://gothamist.com/2008/03/08/nypd_trashed_bi.php
Nicely played!
I increasingly have the feeling that all modern society is about to descend into chaos.
When I was in high school I knew a girl who said she was an anarchist and then a couple months later said she was a communist.
I don’t think she understood what either one was.
She was a nice girl from a wealthy community and has probably “grown up” by now. It’s just amusing to me what lengths people will go to to be considered “cool”.
Yep...they’re probably on his BFF List...oh, heck forget the ‘probably’, if obama knows them, they’re definitely on his list...and speed dial.
Hmmmm... the bicycle was a big clue that they might be French.
In fairness to Obama, he is only 47 years old.
Without getting into too many specifics, I wanted to post my agreement with your take on these Anarchist types. While in government service, I had the opportunity to “study” groups like The World Can’t Wait. Most of these people are useful idiots to their organizer masters. They believe that everything they want to do should be legal to do, unless of course, that means anything that would infringe on their “rights”. Most come from upper middle class homes, with good parents. Once away at college, they meet these groups at dorm parties and want to feel important. They have no clue as to what real life is all about, nor want to.
Thanks for the additional info piasa.
It won’t if the majority of the legally registered voters, tax-paying, God worshipping population takes a hard look at the world around them.
Huh?
William Ayres college grads!
Most of these people are useful idiots to their organizer masters....
Clearly described techniques of Saul Alinsky methods of community organizing show how to “utilize” these “idiots”. Saul is Hillary’s and Obama’s guru.
This election proved how well Obama has learned these lessons.
The poor miserable black community continues to be played by the Democrats as useful idiots.However this time, Obama was able to find other groups to utilize and manipulate. The main one being the MAIN STREAM MEDIA......
