| 2011-06-16 |
| [Dawn] Relatives of Frenchies killed in a 2002 bombing in Pakistain are suing a judge who probed the case, their lawyer said Wednesday, alleging it was falsely framed as a suicide kaboom. "Yeah! It wuz somethin' else!" They lodged a complaint alleging that the judge, Jean-Louis Bruguiere, had ignored an autopsy on the suspected bomber which they say cast doubt on claims that he drove a vehicle packed with explosives, said the lawyer, Olivier Morice. "All these years, real disinformation has been orchestrated in order to make people believe that this attack was carried out as a suicide kaboom," he said. The ongoing probe, now under the supervision of a different judge, centres on allegations that the attack was Dire Revenge™ for the cancellation of kickbacks promised to officials involved in the sale of French submarines to Pakistain. The bombing in Bloody Karachi in 2002 killed 11 French engineers working for the French state company that built the submarines and at least three Paks. The complex case has implicated President Nicolas Sarkozy, ...23rd and current President of the French Republic and ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra. Sarkozy is married to singer-songwriter Carla Bruni, who has a really nice birthday suit... who was budget minister at the time. He has denied any involvement. The victims' families have accused officials of trying to bury the affair. Their latest suit accuses Bruguiere, who led the French judicial investigation into the bombing from 2002 to 2007, of false testimony and obstructing justice. They have already brought a manslaughter suit against former president Jacques Chirac, former prime minister Dominique de Villepin ... who may not be a woman ... and executives involved in the arms deals, and have called for Sarkozy to be questioned. Judges have also been investigating whether money paid in commissions ended up being channelled to fund political activities in La Belle France. Witnesses have told Sherlocks Sarkozy approved the commissions as budget minister at the time. Sarkozy has dismissed the claims as a "fairytale." |
