| [METRO UK] A letter bomb has detonated at the offices of the International Monetary Fund in the centre of Paris. The letter exploded when it was opened this morning. A police source in France said that one person was slightly injured to the face. No other damage has been reported from the incident in western Paris, a police official said. The Paris police department said on Twitter an operation was ongoing at the offices of the IMF and World Bank after a person was hurt following the apparent explosion of a suspect package. The Telegraph has a bit more. |
