French authorities probe Air China threat letter

Air China’s Paris office received a letter, written in English, threatening reprisals if Muslim prisoners in China were not released.

Suspected Muslim separatists killed 16 police officers in a homemade bomb attack in the northwestern region of Xinjiang last week, days before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
