#1 What, do we now expect terrorists to give out a list of home numbers when they call in a threat, just in case we have any questions later? I submit that nobody (well, ok, HARDLY anybody) is that dumb.

#2 arrested on the basis of a list of telephone numbers the anonymous caller gave

Sounds to me like somebody wanted these guys arrested for personal reasons. Saying they were terrorists was the fastest way to get the French cops attention.

#4 Or it could be that for any, say, three phone numbers in Phrawnce you check out, you'll find 10 illegals from N. Africa / Middle East.

#5 The suspects were arrested on the basis of a list of telephone numbers the anonymous caller gave during the warning.

Sounds like either somebody wanted their jobs, or an employer wanted to get rid of 'em.
