France Soir offices evacuated

After a suicide-bomber alert.

A French newspaper that published caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad evacuated its offices after receiving a threatening call.

Police say the caller threatened to blow himself up at the offices of France Soir in a Paris suburb (Aubervilliers).

Police sent a team with sniffer dogs.

About 60 employees evacuated the building but were able to go back in two hours later.

Anti-terrorism police are also investigating.

France Soir was the first French newspaper to publish the contested cartoons last week.
