The Louvre Museum sounded alarms and evacuated visitors Saturday morning after receiving a written terrorist threat.
The Louvre Museum in Paris evacuated all visitors and employees out of concern for a terrorist attack. Louvre facilities sounded alarms and shepherded individuals out of the museum Saturday morning after receiving a written threat. As people quickly fled, police surrounded the iconic landmark and swept the area.
France is currently experiencing a high threat alert level after a widely publicized attack by a radicalized former student. A Chechen immigrant on France's extremist watch list allegedly stabbed a teacher to death Friday morning and wounded two others in a suspected terror attack that the country's president called an assassination.
French authorities said they suspect terror as a motive in the attack, which comes amid a raging conflict in Israel following a terror-fueled attack by Hamas terrorists based in the Gaza Strip. French President Emmanuel Macron said during a news briefing that police also stopped a second attempted attack after the stabbing, which he said shows 'the barbarism of Islamic terrorism.' On Thursday, Darmanin ordered a country-wide ban on demonstrations in support of the Palestinians.
