What's wrong with the source? He asked for credible report, I gave him three.

Logic? Suicide bombers dont know logic. Suicide bombers are idiots lured by religion to serve political whims. And please dont tell me a jihadist needs to be motivated "to kill someone for kickbacks". A jihadist could care less. A bus load of frenchies is motivation enough.

The alleged plot is this:
Quote:
The memo, copies of which were shown on French media on Friday, says French and Pakistani officials connived to take bribes as part of the sale of the submarines to Pakistan.

It says France stopped paying the bribes after the 1995 election, won by Chirac, and that Pakistani officials kept asking for them for several years.
The allegation is that they eventually lost patience and organised in retaliation the attack on the bus full of French engineers, who were working on the Agosta submarine project.
