PARIS — A deflected goal in Ireland and a handball in France were enough to help the French reach the World Cup, but Raymond Domenech’s team looks far from convincing and the coach even admitted it was “miraculous” to squeeze through.

France will be in South Africa next year in its fourth consecutive World Cup, but many questions remain whether Domenech’s team has what it takes there after being outplayed by Ireland in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw.

“It was difficult, arduous and sometimes miraculous,” Domenech said. “It was a victory by the skin of our teeth.”

SAN DIEGO - FBI officials say an elderly, thin, gray-haired man nicknamed the "Geezer Bandit" is responsible for holding up five San Diego-area banks since summer.

Investigators say the man appears to be in his 70s. Officials say that in the most recent robbery Monday, he approached a Bank of America teller in La Jolla, displayed a handgun and asked for cash. He fled on foot.

FBI spokesman Darrell Foxworth says investigators believe the man is also responsible for robbing four other San Diego County banks since Aug. 28.

AFTER a life of crime stretching back 53 years, a 70-year-old German woman was finally behind bars today after pickpocketing a woman 10 years her senior at the bus stop, police said.
The pensioner, not named by police, first came to the attention of authorities in December 1956 and during a prolific career of pilfering had 55 criminal cases brought against her, none of which resulted in a jail term.

Age did not seem to dampen her thieving zeal, however. She was charged 17 times this year alone for a series of petty robberies, including at the nursing home where she resides.

"It was especially dangerous when the 70-year-old had to go into hospital for treatment. During her stay, cash, wallets and medical equipment would regularly vanish from other patients' rooms," the police said.
