In France, bomb threats have been increasing for several days, especially against schools. So far the police have discovered nothing unusual. The Louvre in Paris was also hit by a false bomb alarm, and the Palace of Versailles even twice. It is not yet known who is behind the threats.
Highest terror alert level in the country
France is currently on the highest level of terror alert after a young man radicalized by Islamists stabbed a teacher and injured three other people on Friday. The incident took place at a school in Arras. The attacker has since claimed responsibility for the Islamic State (IS) terrorist militia. He was overpowered and arrested by the police. There was another bomb threat on Monday before a commemoration at the school.
