(Fort-De-France, Martinique) - A French man accused of advocating the killing of gay people on a Web log has been charged with incitement of murder in the Caribbean island of Martinique, a prosecutor said. The suspect — identified only as a 38-year-old man from Fort-de-France — surrendered to authorities Friday in Martinique and was held in jail for two days before being released, prosecutor Claude Bellanger said Monday. Bellanger said the man told investigators that he created the blog — which called for "death to (homosexuals) ... death without exception" — while on vacation in the U.S. city of Atlanta. The Web page also called for the killing of certain media personalities and government officials whom it alleged to be gay.
