Do I Smell Roasting Garlic?

Ken Layne broke the story, and sadly, it turned out to be true. The Israeli embassy in Paris was destroyed “by an intense fire” early today.

So far, the Israeli embassador to France says it was probably an accident. But I have to think that this would be a, um, awkward time for Jerusalem to be making claims against France, so I wonder how long — if ever — before we really know the truth.

Your thoughts? (And please, no mindless France-bashing.)

UPDATE: I said no mindless France-bashing. The clever kind is always welcome.
