TERROR LINKS EYED IN MONTREAL MCDONALD'S ATTACKS

By LINDA MASSARELLA

July 9, 2001 -- MONTREAL - Police say attacks on eight area McDonald's over the weekend were carried out by a "large and very organized" group.

"It was obviously a group of people trying to deliver a message," Montreal police spokesman Ian Lafreniere told The Post.

He said cops are looking into the possibility that the attackers were angry about the recent arrests and trials of alleged Muslim terrorists.

Small firebombs - each equipped with a timing device set at three minutes - were planted in the restrooms of seven McDonald's and exploded between 7:30 and 8 a.m. Saturday.

Six hours later, a canister of pepper spray was thrown near another McDonald's, at a site where hundreds were attending an outdoor concert.

No one was hurt in the firebombings. But in the pepper-spray attack, three were treated after inhaling vapors.

Why muslim terrorists? Why not a bunch of vegan terrorists? Why not a bunch of anti-corporation terrorists? Why not a bunch of food purist terrorists? Why not a bunch of former employee terrorists?

Why not Anti-american Canadian terrorists?

Hey, this could become a fad. Order a happy meal and bomb the bathroom.

Hmm. that sounds odd...
