Fake bomb found near French Jewish institution
A fake explosive device was found near a Jewish institution
in the French city of Lyon.
Police were called to examine the object Tuesday morning
after a store owner reported that, while walking past Lyon’s Hillel Center, he
found a contraption made of three metal cylinders connected with metal wires to
what looked like a cellular phone, according to a report on the incident by the
SPCJ security unit of France’s Jewish communities.
Police evacuated all residents from nearby buildings
before detonating the object, which according to the 20minutes.fr news website
was fake. It quoted a city official as saying: “Whoever placed this did
everything they could to make us believe this was a bomb.”
