Police Question 3 in Threat to Bomb Railway
- Share via
French police quizzed three people suspected of links to a clandestine group that threatened to blow up the national rail network unless it received a multimillion-dollar ransom.
The AZF group said a day earlier that it had suspended its threat. Officers detained a man in the Paris region and a couple in the Loiret region, police said, near an area where threatening letters to President Jacques Chirac and the Interior Ministry were posted.
