SAINT-RAPHAEL, France: Police in southern France on Wednesday detained a man who had broken into a museum overnight and threatened to turn it into"hell", provoking a four-hour standoff, authorities said.
Officers from the elite RAID crisis intervention unit as well as a bomb disposal squad had surrounded the site, where several messages in Arabic, including"The museum is going to become a hell," had been scrawled on the walls, according to police sources. The standoff led officials to lock down a large part of the historic centre of the resort town of some 35,000 people, tucked between Cannes and Saint-Tropez.
