PARIS, France (CNN) -- A French soldier barricaded himself inside an explosives depot Sunday, threatening to blow up the building and forcing the evacuation of about 400 people in nearby villages, authorities said.

Dubois said the soldier is familiar with explosives. The depot contains about 62 tons of anti-tank explosive hardware, but no one lives on the site. It was once a U.S. base, he said, but is now French

atleast they will have a nice fireworks display if he decides to blow the former US base up
