“The AZF Mystery: Tracking Down France’s Ridiculous Bombers”

The name of this organization: AZF. Nothing to do, however, with the disaster of theToulouse factory, three years earlier, which had killed thirty-one people. Nothing to see, except the threat of new explosions that only the delivery of a ransom was to prevent…

But who is hiding behind these three letters? For months, under the orders of the Minister of the Interior Nicolas Sarkozy, all the police in France are tracking down these blackmailers, who we don’t quite understand whether they are dangerous amateurs or eccentric professionals… Because these bombers always border on the ridiculous. Starting with their channel of communication with the police: hidden messages in the classifieds of Release. Code names: “Suzy” for investigators, “My big wolf” for AZF. Who would dare to pose such a serious threat in such a grotesque way? Mystery… The AZF group, despite his excesses, leaves no trace behind him. The enigma remained complete… For fourteen years.
