An explosion destroyed a villa in Ghisonaccia during the night of Friday, September 25, to Saturday, September 26. The national anti-terrorism prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into the incident, which it has classified as a potential act of terrorism. According to one report, the villa belonged to retired mainland residents and had recently been put up for sale. An inscription "FLNC 22/10" was reportedly found at the site. The public prosecutor of Bastia, Jean-Philippe Navarre, confirmed the information.
The PNAT, or National Prosecutor's Office for the Fight Against Terrorism, has opened an investigation for "participation in a criminal association with the aim of preparing an act of terrorism and the organized destruction of another person's property by a dangerous means for people in relation with a terrorist enterprise." This indicates that authorities are considering the possibility that the explosion was part of a larger, coordinated effort linked to terrorism.
The investigation has been assigned to several specialized units, including the Anti-Terrorism Sub-Directorate (SDAT), the Interdepartmental National Police Directorate (DIPN) of Bastia, the DIPN of Ajaccio, and the Research Section of the National Gendarmerie of Corsica. These agencies are known for handling complex and sensitive cases, particularly those involving national security.
No casualties were reported in the explosion, but the incident has raised concerns about potential threats to public safety. The presence of the FLNC inscription suggests a possible link to a local group, though the exact nature of the connection remains under investigation. Authorities are likely to conduct a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the explosion and the individuals involved.
