Gustave, I find this theory hard to believe simply because these countries these embassies resided in, have no alliance to France other than being ex-colonies, if I remember correctly they were sort of "anti French" in many ways. With them being ex-colonies I would expect these African Countries to harbor old animosities against the "imiralistic slave drivers, exploitation" and all the other old rhetoric they used in the past. Plus wasnt France recently using force to deport African immigrants from France? I doubt this presents France in a favorable light to some of these countries populaces. France is still trying to divest itself of its remaining colonies, take Tahiti for example. These colonies are too much of a strain on the French form of Socialism. Of course things do change, but as far as I know the US and France have a strong enough relationship neither would resort to blowing up each others embassies. KAA
