French Teen Leads Bin Laden Cheer The Associated Press Friday, Oct. 19, 2001; 3:13 p.m. EDT STRASBOURG, France A French teen-ager was placed under investigation after he allegedly organized a demonstration at his junior high school where students called out "Long live bin Laden," judicial officials said Friday. A juvenile court judge in Strasbourg placed the 15-year-old under formal investigation one step short of being charged on Thursday for "justifying acts of terrorism," the officials said. The judge ordered the student to remain under the surveillance of a teacher. For adults, the charge of "justifying acts of terrorism" can carry up to five years in prison and a $42,000 fine. The teen-ager is believed to have organized a demonstration Monday at the Lezay-Marnesia school in Strasbourg, in eastern France. About 100 students gathered in the courtyard, burned a pair of red-white-and-blue underwear and cried out "Long live (Osama) bin Laden, down with the Americans." Bin Laden is suspected in the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
