Eiffel Tower Evacuated After Bomb Threat

VOA News: French police evacuated about 1,400 people from the Eiffel Tower for about two hours Saturday after an anonymous caller phoned in a bomb threat.

The tower was reopened after a search of the monument with sniffer dogs found no suspicious objects.

French authorities have stepped up counterterrorism measures in recent weeks amid heightened concern of threats over France’s military campaign against al-Qaida-linked fighters in Mali.

The 324-meter tower is one of the world’s top tourist attractions, with millions of visitors a year.
