Daredevil to make another attempt

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): A French daredevil who was arrested here Thursday for attempting to scale the world's tallest building still hopes to complete the feat but this time for charity and with official approval.

The 34-year-old rock climber was freed on bail late Thursday after police arrested him for trying to scale one of the two 88- story Petronas Twin Towers, the world's tallest building, in central Kuala Lumpur.

Alain Robert, who is married with three children, currently lives in Valence in southern France. He has been climbing since 1975 and earns a living by giving climbing lessons to police and fire department officers.

He attempted a similar stunt in Sydney last month when he tried to climb cables surrounding the Australian city's tallest structure, the Centrepoint Tower, but was stopped halfway up.
