The body of a 23-year-old Jewish man was found in a train station outside Paris on Monday. The man, referred to only as Ilan H., was abducted Jan. 20 by what police call an inexperienced gang. His co-workers said Ilan apparently was lured into a trap by an attractive brunette of North African origin who came into a Paris store where Ilan sold mobile phones.
