Anti-Semitic act in France now
http://www.sina.com.cn 2004/07/13 11:24  Shanghai Daily

  A gang of young men attacked a mother riding a suburban train with her infant, cutting her hair and drawing swastikas on her stomach as other passengers watched, according to French police.

  The French political class issued shocked denunciations yesterday as news of the attack, which occurred about 9:30am on Friday, spread.

  The gang of six set upon the 23-year-old woman on a suburban train north of Paris, grabbing her backpack and, after finding identity papers showing an address in the capital's chic 16th district, said, "There are only Jews in the 16th," police said.

  The woman was not Jewish and no longer lived in the district.

  The gang pushed her, cut her hair "to keep a souvenir" and opened her shirt, reportedly with a knife, before drawing swastikas on her stomach with the aid of a marking pen, police said.

  The 13-month-old infant fell from its stroller in the melee. Neither the mother nor infant was seriously injured, police said. They described the gang as ranging in age from about 15 to 20 and said some appeared to be of Muslim North African origin.

  The attack occurred a day after President Jacques Chirac denounced mounting racial intolerance in France, calling for drastic change "at the risk of indifference and passivity."

  According to the police account, none of the passengers on the train came to the woman's rescue during the attack.

  The young mother, in shock, filed a complaint.
