Reuters: Group claims
Indonesia embassy blast
"A group unknown to police and going by the name of the French Armed Islamic Front has sent an e-mail in which it claims responsibility for a
bomb blast at the Indonesian embassy in Paris, judicial officials say.
The judicial officials said they had not been able to verify the authenticity of the e-mail sent to the town hall of the district where the embassy is
located and other sources said they doubted its veracity. "This event, even if it was bungled, is a clear warning to France," the e-mail said,
according to the judicial officials.
Parts of the message were oddly phrased in French slang.
The message complained about a well-known French novel by Michel Houellebecq as an effort to undermine Islam and also demanded the liberation of two
men jailed for deadly bomb attacks in Paris in the mid-1990s. It did not name the novel.
The Algerian Armed Islamic Group (GIA) claimed responsibility for those attacks.
A small package bomb exploded around 5 a.m. (4 a.m. British time) outside the 19th century Indonesian embassy building, Paris, slightly injuring 10
people, some of them embassy staff."
