French Cops Arrest Suspects in Bank of America Bomb Plot

0:00It's March 29th. Welcome to U.S. News Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. French cops just nabbed two more suspects in a foiled bomb plot against Bank of America's Paris office. This comes after they grabbed a minor on Saturday morning, and now that kids custody got extended. The anti-terror pro kicked off on March 28th, 2026, hitting charges like attempted arson and messing with explosives. Early Saturday in Paris's 8th arrondissement, patrol officers spotted two dudes trying to light up a homemade bomb outside the bank. One was fiddling with a fuel-filled container and a basic fuse while the other filmed it. Cops swooped in, snagged one right there, but the second bolted. These guys look like street-level crooks hired as middlemen, a classic proxy setup. Officials are eyeing links to Iranian ops through hired hands, though that's still under the microscope. No word from Iran's embassy in France. The blast could have been deadly, even if the device was crude, and it matches patterns from attacks in the Netherlands, Belgium, Britain, and Norway, all aimed at US spots.
