The Wages of Weaseldom
PARIS, France (CNN) -- The shadowy group that has issued threats to bomb France's railway system says it is suspending its terror threats while it improves its ability to carry them out.
But a letter to President Jacques Chirac and the interior minister warns that if the French government does not pay the $4 million the group calling itself AZF has demanded, attacks will follow which will be worse than those in Spain.
In excerpts from the letter published in the Paris daily newspaper Le Monde, AZF said it was suspending its activities in order to correct "technical problems."
In the letter, AZF described itself as "a small brotherhood." It said it held no grievances against the French government.
See what happens when you're perceived as weak?
