Paris has stepped up security following an attempted terrorist attack near the Bank of America office

Security measures have been stepped up in the French capital after law enforcement officials prevented an explosion at the Bank of America offices.

This was reported by the Paris police.

The decision was attributed to an increased “terrorist threat.”

The police have already stepped up security at religious and cultural sites, diplomatic missions, and economic facilities, and have increased the police presence throughout the city.

On the morning of Saturday, March 28, French police prevented an explosion near an American bank in Paris. A man who attempted to detonate a homemade explosive device was detained.

As a reminder, Dutch prosecutors stated that four men suspected of involvement in the explosion at a synagogue in Rotterdam may have acted with terrorist intent. The incident, which occurred on Monday, March 16, is being investigated as a possible terrorist act.
