Holiday home bombed in Solaro, Corsica

 

A bomb has exploded at a secondary home in Solaro, Corsica.

A number of residents heard the explosion late last night but where unable to locate it's source. The next morning scorch marks and large cracks were found on a house belonging to David Ajzenfisz. It appears a homemade explosive device was tossed into the crawl space beneath the house. According to the emergency services, the blast greatly damaged the buildings foundations and it may need to be levelled. On a house on the opposite side of the street FLNC graffiti was written.

Mr. Ajzenfisz is originally from mainland France and was there when the attack took place. Corsican militant groups frequently target secondary homes belonging to French "contintentals" as a way of discouraging French citizens from moving to the island and diluting it's Corsican culture.

The French anti-terrorist unit are investigating the incident.
