The AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced yesterday
that it had raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide" after
the recent attacks in Great Britain.

The only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate".

The raise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's
white flag factory, effectively disabling their military.




In a related story by Reuters, it was noted that this is only the
second time since WWII that the terror alert level has been raised this
high. In the only other such incident, two men were captured in a Lyon
hotel room with two cases of California wines, and suitcase full of
Velveeta.
