The Nook - Dynamite Found in a Paris Dpmt Store.... AND A TERRORIST THREAT LETTER!!!
Permalink  

Earlier today, Police evacuated a major department store in Paris after finding five sticks of dynamite inside. However, the sticks of dynamite were not armed.

Before this event, the French News Agency, AFP, received a letter from an Afghan Revolutionary group. It stated that explosives were placed on a few department stores across Paris. It also warned that to the President of France to withdraw French troops from Afganistan or else they will attack more department stores.

What should the French government do? Should they withdrawel, or are these Afgan's bluffing? Is it possible that the note is a fake, being that the dynamite was not even set to detonate?

The letter doesn't seem to have a whole lot of backing to it. They shouldn't withdrawal because of this threat. Most threats are empty threats.

I think the letter was a fake,
probably some anarchist college students.

It could be fake, but who knows, they should probably check out other department stores and what not. But I don't think they should with draw troops

here's your birdfeed, foolios.

It does say that the letter said it was not a fake. But then again, it could be lying words on a note.

I don't want to say this doesn't seem serious, given the fact that there was actual dynamite in a place with a lot of people, but if it was real it seems like a haphazard attempt. This shouldn't influence France's foreign policy.

No, I don't think they should. I can't imagine they have nearly as many troops there as we do. Why France? Man up, take on Britain or the US

Doesn't sound like it was really planned out so someone without a plan doesn't sound very serious, so no they should not withdraw.

they should not withdraw the troops from Afghanistan, but they should definitely this threat seriously no matter how fake it sounds. when people's lives might be at stake nobody's government should just brush it off without a full and complete investigation proving it false.
