French Army recruitment centre bombed in Corsica


A recruitment centre for the French Armed Forces was bombed last night.

The blast occurred at around 2am in the prefecture of Haute-Corse. It appears those responsible managed to cut a hole in the metal shutters before rolling a gas cylinder packed with explosives into the building. The ground floor was entirely destroyed by the blast. Five nearby cars and a motorbike were also damaged. There were no injuries.

Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack although Corsican seperatist groups, such as the FLNC or Armatu Corse are suspected. The offices have been the target of attacks before.
