Wave of supermarket bombings hits Corsica

Bomb attacks rocked seven supermarkets on the French island of Corsica on Sunday, causing minor damage and no injuries. Both a holiday destination and a site of violent nationalism, the island has the most supermarkets per person in all of France.

AFP - A series of explosions rocked seven supermarkets on the French island of Corsica overnight Monday, claiming no victims and causing only minor damage, police said.

The blasts hit supermarkets in Ajaccio and Upper Corsica. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

An AFP journalist said the entrance to the main Leclerc supermarket in downtown Ajaccio was destroyed by an explosives charge, but the damage seemed to be limited.

In Bastia the windows of another supermarket in the Leclerc chain were broken and the metal screens smashed, another correspondent said.

Police cordoned off the damaged buildings and anti-terrorist investigators were called in from Paris.

The holiday island of Corsica, with a population of 306,000, has more supermarkets per head than any other region of France and plans for a new hypermarket in the suburbs of Ajaccio were abandoned last year after many complaints.

In recent years there have been numerous bombings by the Corsican National Liberation Front (FLNC) but they have mainly targeted holiday homes.

Perhaps, they are upset that France is trying to avoid being the next belligerant of a conventional World War due to the proliferation of nuclear weapons. I hear the whole world had to stop Napoleon and the United States is sitting on their hands right now. Especially since Titus (Obama) and Cinncinatus (Bill Clinton) are running the "White" house and hiding in Florida, probably vacationing after invoking the Lord and the Lord's name in North Carolina.

If you want all the details, talk to your local "Hermes" outfitter and ask where they are importing all their silk from. Unforunately, Italy did away with the Cisaline Republic, so thats probably what they are worried about after a 75% tax idea.

These actions were 'tres' Mons Capitol and Chinois in fashion, so I suggest watching the Mona Lisa and the Louvre very closely. Worse comes to worse you can always use the Ordem Militar de Christo to figure out who and why. I hope Notre Dame is packed with prayers for those affected by this horrible event because apparently France was to become "pan" again for another Verdun of sorts...
