Counter Alert

The following message was received on Sept. 26 from the US Embassy in Paris. It illustrates the tendency of the press to publish the worst side of matters but not to print reassurances - I saw the original story, but did not see any corrections in the press.

American citizens may have heard that seven people were arrested Friday, September 21 in the Paris area.  Contrary to press reports indicating that these individuals were planning an attack on the American Embassy in Paris, competent French authorities have informed us that they have not uncovered any specific information that would lead them to believe that such an attack was planned.
