ABSTRACT

On 22 April 2000 a McDonald’s employee was killed by a bomb that had allegedly been placed in a Brittany, France store by a terrorist group. This bomb was one in a series of bombings directed against the encroachment on France by McDonald’s, yet its effects did not close down McDonald’s stores all over France (except for a day of mourning for those killed). Nor did it affect the operation of any McDonald’s outlets in the United States or elsewhere.
