Arson attack, signed "Bin Laden", on Jewish deportation site in Drancy
Still no anti-Semitism and pro-bin ladenism in France.
(Emphasis mine)
Vandals in the Paris suburb of Drancy attempted to set fire to a railway carriage which commemorates the deportation of tens of thousands of Jews in World War Two, the local prosecutor's office said Monday.Firefighters were called to the scene early evening Sunday and put out the blaze, which caused only scorch marks to the carriage. No-one was hurt.
Police found a bottle that had apparently contained a flammable liquid, as well as a note claiming responsibility which bore an inverted swastika and the signature "Bin Laden."
Drancy was the site of the detention centre and railway depot from where most of the 76,000 Jews deported from France left on their last journey to the Nazi death camps.
According to this article, the bottle was actually a Coca Cola can and, according to Mayor-Deputy of Drancy Jean-Christophe Lagarde, the paper found with the name "Bin Laden" written would also read "far-right group for the liberation of Palestine". Still according to him, "it was made by young people because there was no adult writing on the paper."

Has anybody said yet that that's proof the US is behind it?
