To quote:

Now, Didier Massonnet and Benoît Meyssignac of France's National Centre for 
Space Studies have come up with a new projectile to fire at the asteroid in 
such a "kill". They advocate capturing a small, 40 meter asteroid and 
"parking" it a stable Lagrange point 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, 
where the gravity of the Earth and the Sun balance.
