The president and the crow

A mysterious writer of poison-pen letters is making the news in France at the moment. A series of letters has been sent to a number of senior politicians in France, including the most senior of all, Monsieur Le Président. Le corbeau (crow), as anonymous letter writers are known as in France, always signs the letters "Combattants du cellule 34", which always include a bullet.

The latest targets are Sarko and the mayor of Beziers, both for the second time. The letters are littered with choice phrases such as: "You have believed in fools, and now the time for liberation approaches. The king and his clan will disappear from the surface of the earth...", "Our first target will be the son of the king, with 3 senators, 4 deputies (MPs), a minister and a judge in the top ten, and frequent bomb scares in various shops. You will have fear..."

The police have no leads as yet...
