A stick of dynamite on the window
The area was temporarily cordoned off. Minesweepers were on site. And for good reason: according to a police source, the individual stuck a stick of dynamite (200 grams of TATP) on the window. According to our information, a depot of this substance was robbed a few weeks ago in the Lyon area.
This attempted robbery did not cause any casualties, and the criminal did not achieve his goals. However, he was not arrested.
The technical and scientific police carried out the first investigations.
The Franklin-Roosvelt course reopened to traffic around 10:15 p.m.
