French students cancel visit over terrorist fear

FRENCH students have cancelled visits to Bexhill since the outbreak of war with Iraq.

The main reason is said to be fear of a terrorist attack. Language school coordinators - part of a 1 million local industry - have also suggested there could be a fear of retaliation against the French political stance on war.

Rose Edwards, of Egerton Road, has had two French groups cancel due to the terrorist risk.
