French police thwarted an apparent bomb attack outside a Bank of America building in Paris early Saturday, sources told Agence France-Presse. A man was arrested as he was about to set off a homemade explosive device.
Police apprehended the suspect just after he placed a device, made of nine pints of liquid believed to be fuel, and an ignition system, one source said.
The incident occurred in the middle of the night when the office was closed. No employees were injured, according to the bank.
Bank of America head of global media relations Jessica Oppenheim told CBS News that the company is “aware of the situation” and is “communicating with authorities.”
French anti-terror prosecutors are handling the incident, as reported by AFP. CBS News has reached out to Paris police for additional comment.
The building is located in Paris’ chic 8th arrondissement, a few streets away from the Champs-Élysées.
