| Islamic fighters trained near Paris |
| 2003-10-28 |
| A suspected French Islamic militant deported from Australia this month used a site outside Paris to help train fighters for Afghanistan, a French law enforcement official said. Willie Virgile Brigitte, who was deported on October 18, remains in French custody during investigations into whether he belonged "to a criminal association in relation to a terrorist undertaking". A French official told AFP the exact role taken by the 35-year-old during the training in the Fontainbleau forest, near Paris, was not yet known. |

| #3 And nobody nixed it!? Sheesh It's one thing to identify a problem point, but yet another to actually tackle the problem. (Why remedy the problem when surrender is always an option?) |
