Anti-terrorist judge defeated in French elections
Jean-Louis Bruguiere, who for many years was France's leading anti-terrorist judge, failed Sunday in his bid to win a parliamentary seat for the ruling Union for a Popular Movement (UMP). Bruguiere was beaten by the Socialist candidate in a constituency in the Lot-et-Garonne department of southern France. Seen as close to President Nicolas Sarkozy, Bruguiere left his magistrate's job earlier this year and had hoped to embark on a career in poltics.
