This marks the second time this year that France has experienced an attack based on extremist ideology.
A small explosion on a street in Lyon, France, that injured at least eight people is being investigated as a terrorist incident, say French authorities.
A police source told Agence France-Presse the package that detonated contained “screws or bolts” and was placed in front of a bakery on or around Rue Victor Hugo. In 2015, several suicide bombers set off explosions outside a football stadium in coordination with a mass shooting during a concert at the Bataclan theater in Paris. These were the deadliest attacks on French soil since World War II. That same year, gunmen entered the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and killed 12 staff members. The attackers in both of these incidents were found to be motivated by extreme Islamist ideology.
The local prefect tweeted that rumors of additional explosions in Lyon have begun to circulate. The tweet definitely called these rumors false, using the hashtag “#FakeNews.”
