| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Until the fall of 2005, France had been relatively lightly affected by the wave of terrorism and international turmoil inaugurated by the attacks of September 11, 2001. France had had its share of problems, to be sure, but the murderous wave of terror seemed to have passed the country by. Madrid had experienced the March 2004 bombing at the Atocha train station that killed 192 commuters, and London had suffered the July 7, 2005, bombing of Underground stations and buses that killed 52 and injured more than 700. Yet France had somehow remained immune, and few French observers then saw Madrid and London as omens for Paris. To the contrary, most assumed that France's decision not to support the American-led war in Iraq made France less of a target than Spain or Great Britain, whose governments did support the war. |
