A parcel bomb exploded at a lawyer’s office in central Paris on Thursday, killing a secretary and seriously injuring an attorney, but a motive was not immediately clear, officials said.
Other tenants in the building include a foundation that does research on the Holocaust and a law firm that President Nicolas Sarkozy helped to found. That firm is several floors down from the one that was targeted.
Ten people were being treated for shock, prosecutor Jean-Claude Marin said. Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie, speaking from Brussels, condemned the attack as “cowardly and odious.”
