Bomb found in Bourse
I NZPA-Reuter Paris ' Security officers yesterday ;searched everybody' entering 'the Paris Bourse (stock exI change) where a powerful bomb was found earlier this week. The discovery of the skg bomb an hour before it was due to explode followed a bomb blast that killed four people outside a Paris synagogue two -weeks ago. The police said they still did not know who had placed the Bourse bomb although an anonymous caller claimed responsibility in the name of the extreme Leftist Direct Action movement.
Police sources said that the movement had been largely dismantled recently and it was doubtful it had been involved.
The police sources said the bomb at the exchange was a' much cruder device than that which exploded outside the Copernic Reform Synagogue on October 3. Extreme Rightists claimed .responsibility for the explosion but the police said that most of their suspicions pointed to the Arab Middle East.’
About 1500 ’ people. ; were on the tightly packed stock exchange floor when the bomb was found.
