A Frenchman suspected of involvement in a wave of attacks against speed cameras near Paris had both hands blown off this morning when his home-made bomb exploded in his flat. Police said his condition was critical.
Interior minister Michèle Alliot-Marie said multiple clues pointed to the 41-year old postal worker being linked to the Nationalist Revolutionary Army Faction (Fnar), a shadowy guerrilla group which has claimed responsibility for destroying dozens of speed traps.
Investigators say the man exclaimed: I am from the Fnar when firemen arrived at his flat in Clichy-La-Garenne, west of Paris.

What kind of a bomb was it?
Smart bomb? :-)
So much for fingerprints.
I am from the Fnar
When he needs the toilet he’s going to find out who his friends really are.
G Gordon Liddy use urge his listeners to shoot out the stop light cameras when he was on WJFK.
Well, you have to hand it to the guy...........or not.
...it was reported also he asked, "please scratch my itchy nose and wipe my _ _ _, but do use different fingers from different hands".....
“When he needs the toilet hes going to find out who his friends really are.”
Or just scoot around on the ground like a dog...
“The Fnar had stepped up their campaign in recent months, with the latest occurring two weeks ago about 40 miles northwest of Paris.
It had reportedly demanded four million euros to halt the attacks, as well as a total stop to immigration, tax cuts, less rigorous enforcement of the law on the roads and state control of essential commodity prices and rent.”

Pretty darn incoherent and contradictory as manifestos go...
I can agree with the Fnar’s campaign for tax cuts.
The push for a total stop to immigration might please many.
But the state price controls, support of Hitler, etc., are deal-breakers. :-)
From that I would guess that the bomb that blew his hands off was dynamite based. Interesting that both he and a second man arrested in this are both French postal workers.
“The local mayor said that 12 sticks of dynamite were found in his apartment and ping pong balls that are used to increase the strength of an explosion.”

Ping pong balls? Now THERE’S a job for “Mythbusters!”
Thats sad, now who is going to pick his nose for him?
Not really. Very National Socialist...sorta like Francis Bellamy or Adolf Hitler. (And no Godwin's Law here!)
ping.
That's going to be one nasty carpet after about a year.
"Sure."
"Great! I never could before!"
“Hey, look, Ma !”
