Woman ‘invented’ swastika attack

A FRENCH woman who alleged she was the victim of an anti-Semitic attack that shocked France yesterday told police she made up the incident, a judicial source said.

The 23-year-old woman and her male companion were detained after police called them in to discuss the alleged attack, in which she said six knife-wielding youths of Arab and African origin had daubed swastikas on her stomach on a Paris train.

“She admitted to inventing the whole thing,” the judicial source said.
