Around 100 people were evacuated on Monday  from the offices of France's financial fraud prosecutors over a bomb alert, two days after an attack led to the evacuation of the city's second busiest airport. An anonymous caller had told police that there was a bomb in the building that houses prosecutors investigating high-level financial crimes, a police source said. Bomb disposal experts were sent to the site in central Paris, which was cordoned off.
