In New Year's Eve 1995, a group of Algerian terrorists hijacked a plane and tried to use it in a terrorist attack in Paris(I don't know a lot about it but I think they would for a big, symbolic site such as the Eiffel tower). The plane however was forced to land, and French Spec-Ops attacked and killed them all in an overall flawless operation.
But what if the plane had continued its path unimpeded? Would that allow the electoral victory of Jean Marie Le Pen in the elections that year, given his strong nationalist, anti-"alien" rethoric? Would France, in the manner of a certain US President, invade Algeria? How would this affect European constructions, the relations between Europe and the Arab world, what would be the effect in the French left?
