HERE’S A STORY FROM TIME EUROPE on the trial of the 1995 subway bombers in Paris:
Boualem Bensaïd was standing just meters away from people whose lives he is accused of tearing asunder in a 1995 bombing campaign in the Paris Métro. He showed no feeling save contempt. The alleged Islamist terrorist from Algeria — on trial last week with co-defendant Smaïn Aït Ali Belkacem for three blasts in which eight people died and more than 200 were injured — dismissed both the charges against him and those in court who “claim to be victims of an attack.” Insisting that “We are not the extremists here,” Bensaïd, 35, refused to explain his illegal entry to France just before the bombing spree began. “That’s none of your business,” he told the court. “I do as I please.”
Hey, where are the critics of “unilateralism” now?
UPDATE: Hey, criticism of unilateralism in the terror world has gotten results!
