Paris Attacks: Gare de Lyon railway station evacuated over bomb alert

Paris, Nov 14: Gare de Lyon, one of Paris’ main train stations, was evacuated Friday afternoon following a bomb alert, Xinhua news agency reported. Hundreds of passengers were forced to leave the station after a bomb threat had been posted on social networks, police said.

“Everything has returned to normal. Passengers can again enter the station and trains run again,” state-run railway company SNCF was quoted as saying. France has been on high alert since the Charlie Hebdo series of attacks in January 2015.
