Group Threatens to Attack in France
PARIS -- A group sent parts of bomb detonators to President Jacques Chirac and the Interior Ministry, threatening to carry out attacks unless it was paid off, authorities said Friday.
The identical letters, signed by a group calling itself AZF, were received Thursday. They carried threats of striking in May, the prosecutor's office said.
Officials did not disclose the specific nature of the threatened attacks or the amount of payment demanded.
The office said that each letter was posted in France and contained pieces of detonators.
Investigators were analyzing the letters and attempting to identify the group and stop it from acting, it said.
Threats from AZF last year led to a massive search of 19,885 miles of train track for explosives after the group indicated the location of one device buried under a track. Last year's letters demanded a payment of $2 million.
In July, letters signed by AZF were sent to eight multinational food and cosmetics companies, threatening to poison their products if they didn't each pay $1.35 million each. No evidence of a poison plot was found.

MD, thank you for staying on top of the refinery explosion. Please continue to follow up on it if you could. This may be the tip of the iceberg - you know, the one that sunk the titanic, the 'unsinkable' ship.
This country is more vulnerable than it’s ever been in its existence. Where do you get your food? How do you get to work? When is the last time you purchased ANYTHING that was made in the USA?
Terrorists claim responsibility for the explosion and the FBI discounts it. Quite honestly, I don't trust what either organization is saying.
Our borders are wide open and have been for a long time. Long enough for 'branches' or 'cells' to be firmly in place and waiting for an opportunity. Some of the reports said the terrorists didn't move on the refinery until they were 98% sure of a successful operation. One person is still missing. We need to find this person.
GWB is right for going after the terrorists but he’s wrong for not securing the back yard. Citizens are trying to take up the slack and are being persecuted by the ACLU that I consider a moral enemy of the Constitution.
Do not underestimate our opponent. While the operatives may be dumb enough to sacrifice themselves as the 911 operatives were, the planners of that operation were educated right here in the USA – in OUR colleges, compliments of the ACLU and the rest of the liberal pukes. Yes, we’ve taken out much of their leadership, but it’s like the drug war. How many are waiting in the wings to take over the operations?
I don’t know if we’re going to be taken down by a magnificent attack like 911 or if we’ll be taken down by ‘death by 1,000 cuts’. Maybe it’ll be a combination of both. I do know that if we don’t make come radical changes we will be taken down.
Sorry to be so pessimistic, but this refinery explosion may be the start of a very nasty road we all must haul. I pray I’m wrong.
Blah-blah move along, so sick of the government insulting our collective intelligence here
If illegals ate UNdocumented how the heck do they know?!
