French spies plotted to pose as neo-Nazis to assassinate Abu Hamza, the hate cleric, in London because they were so frustrated with Britain’s failure to deal with him, it was claimed Sunday.
They planned to send the fanatic fake death threats from the far-Right group Combat 18 before shooting him with weapons said to be associated with that group.
In a separate move, they also plotted to kidnap Hamza and take him to France, a report by the campaign group Hope not Hate claimed.
Intelligence services across the Channel hatched the assassination plan in 1999, amid tensions between the two countries over the scale of Islamist extremism in Britain.
Just...no. Bad, bad France. Bad. Every single aspect of this idea was horrible and stupid and bad. Bad bad bad bad bad.
I mean I know the plan was 14 years ago, but...really? This was before Bush/Cheney made this kinda of thing "socially acceptable".
Bad France.
