French mother on trial for dressing her boy with ‘9/11 Bomb’ T-Shirt to school

A woman in southern France was in court on Wednesday (March 6, 2013) after being arrested for sending her son named Jihad to school wearing a T-shirt with the words "I am a bomb" printed on it. 35 year-old Bouchra Bagour was charged with glorifying crime after being reported to police by the teachers and local mayor last September. It is reported that the words "I am a bomb" were inscribed on the front, and the words "Jihad, born September 11" on the back of the controversial clothing, which was a gift from Bagour’s 29-year-old brother, Zeyad Bagour. According to Best Searching, both Ms Bagour and her brother were summoned to appear before the court after the school and local mayor complained. Mr Bagour told the court he "had no intention to provoke or shock". The mother also admitted the move was tactless but insisted it was not meant as a provocation. She said she simply wanted to make note of her son’s birthday and did not intend to reference the 9/11 attacks in the United States in 2001.
