Villa bombed in Corsica

The FLNC has claimed responsibility for a bomb attack against a villa in the village of Cauria in the Sartene region of Corsica.

The villa, which was still under construction, is owned by an individual from mainland France. The bomb consisted of three gas cylinders packed around a canister of home made explosive. Significant damage was caused to the property but there were no injuries.

The owner of the property, Marc Chanu, said he had been visiting the Sartene region for the past 34 years and had hoped to retire there. He said this attack had not put him off the idea.

The Anti-Terrorist division of the French police have taken over the investigation.
