Traces of the poison ricin have been found at a railway station in Paris, according to the French interior ministry.

Two vials of the potentially deadly substance were found inside a locker at the Gare de Lyon, according to ministry officials.

Guess that veto doesn't grant immunity.

France is a big country, spends and makes a lot of money, is, in short, involved in the world, and has garnered their fair share of enemies as a result. There can be more than one cause for events in the world at a single time, you know.

Incidently, I found this: Fighting Terrorism: Lessons from France.

The announcement of the find came as the French authorities heightened security against terrorist targets following the launch of a US-led military strike against Iraq.

So it'll be alright for you to say "serve them right" if the French should become the target of a terrorist attack, but not for, say, an Iraqi to say "serve them right" when your country became the victim of a terrorist attack?

And you're far away, as well. In fact, there is quite a history of facial hair round here. Baloo had a beard, and Charles' growth is now so large it's being considered for statehood.
