| In-laws held over Paris bomb 'plot' |
| 2003-01-13 |
| French police have arrested the former parents-in-law of an airport baggage handler who had explosives and weapons planted in his car in an attempt to frame him. The discovery of the weapons cache at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport sparked a major alert, amid fears of a terrorist plot. The baggage handler, Abderazak Besseghir, insisted that he had been set up by his in-laws, who blamed him for the death of his wife in a fire. Last week a former Foreign Legion soldier admitted planting the evidence in Mr Besseghir's car. On Monday, Mr Besseghir's former father- and mother-in-law were also detained, said police sources. Yep. That'un was pretty nasty. I do hope Maw and Paw manage to "fall down the stairs" at the local cop shop... |
