A parcel bomb explosion in central Paris killed one person and injured five others Thursday, police said.

The blast went off at a building housing lawyers' offices in the capital's fashionable eighth arrondissement or district.

Earlier police said that a lawyer and a secretary were seriously injured.

The building in Boulevard Malesherbes is where President Nicolas Sarkozy once practised as a lawyer, though there was no immediate evidence of a link.

This is just breaking...not much else to report so far.
Could this be linked to the recent riots in Paris?
The link to Sarkozy is a bit of a stretch IMO,but we will have to wait and see what else is said.

Here's some other clips from this bombing:

Mr Charriere-Bournazel said the blast "had nothing to do with" the former law company of President Sarkozy, because it was located on a different floor of the building.

There was also no immediate indication that the attack was linked in any way with The Foundation for the Memory of the Holocaust.

Seems like you're right, maybe tying into the riots. But the fact he used to work there & the Holocaust foundation's locale is suspect.

Thanks for the link anhinga,
I heard about the holocaust connection on the news,maybe its some type of far right attack in that case.
