The Palace of Versailles was evacuated again on Sunday due to a bomb threat. The tourist attraction near Paris said it will reopen once security checks are completed. It is the seventh closure of the castle within eight days due to a threat. Although a suspect has already been arrested, the threats continue, which have proven to be false in all cases so far.
Hundreds of schools in France and regional airports have also been hit by bomb threats in recent days. Authorities say young people are behind many of the threats.
Bomb threats have increased since a young Islamist’s deadly attack on a teacher in Arras a week ago, which seriously shocked France. The country’s highest terror alert level was subsequently imposed.
