Sacré Coeur evacuated for a bomb threat and what's Le Monde's headline? "Antiterrorism vs. the rights of man," on the excesses of the war on terror.Incidentally, a cursory glance indicates this isn't on Le Monde's site yet; if it is, they sure haven't made a very big deal out of it.
Hmm. I guess France is less impressed than Fox; it shows up in the Reuters dispatches at Libé as "Sacré Coeur evacuated on account of suspicious package" but hasn't shown up on their main page either. The nut quote from the Paris police? "It's not, strictly speaking, an explosive weapon. There's no detonator... It's little bottles of gas [chemistry sense] and gasoline." Oh well, then, continuez, continuez.
