Wie schnell man zum vermeintlichen Terroristen wird und welche
langwaehrenden Folgen dies fuer die Zukunft haben kann, zeigt
sich in der kurzfristigen Verhaftung des franzoesischen Dirigenten
Pierre Boulez waehrend eines Musikfestivals in Basel.

Tuesday, 4 December, 2001, 23:47 GMT Conductor held over
'terrorism' comment
Pierre Boulez conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra Mr Boulez
had been conducting at a music festival James Coomarasamy By
the BBC's James Coomarasamy
One of the world's most famous conductors was briefly detained by
Swiss police on suspicion of being linked to terrorist activities.
Frenchman Pierre Boulez had his passport confiscated in the town
of Basle where he had been conducting at a music festival last
month.
Europe has seen a series of anti-terrorist dawn raids since 11
September, but this must be the strangest.
Security threat
Pierre Boulez was sleeping in his five star Swiss hotel when police
dragged him from bed and informed him he was on their national
list of terrorist suspects.
Conductor Pierre Boulez Organisers have demanded an apology
from the authorities for Mr Boulez's detention
The 75-year-old, who once conducted the BBC symphony
orchestra, had his passport confiscated for three hours before he
was free to go.
Strangely, it was not a case of mistaken identity.
In the revolutionary 1960s, it seems that Boulez said that opera
houses should be blown up, comments which the Swiss felt made
him a potential security threat.
The embarrassed organisers of the music festival where he had
been conducting have now demanded an apology from the
authorities.
