Terrorists will kill you regardless of politics

Since 9/11, particularly loud and outspoken voices on the left tried to blame the attacks on US foreign policy. It was our fault we'd ostracized and alienated them, so of course they'd lash out at us.

PARIS (AP)-[off the wire, no link]-A French terror cell suspected of plotting attacks on the subway and other targets in Paris had contacts with Iraq's al-Qaida leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a leading French counterterrorism official said Monday.

Christophe Chaboud, head of the counterterrorism unit of the national police, also said that a member of the cell had returned to France with a potential bomb-making substance from Lebanon.
