French police interrupted an apparent bomb attack outside a Bank of America building in Paris early Saturday morning. A suspect was apprehended as he was about to detonate a homemade explosive device, which consisted of nine pints of liquid thought to be fuel and an ignition system. The incident happened during the night when the office was closed, with no injuries reported. Anti-terror prosecutors in France are investigating the case.
Bank of America's global media relations lead, Jessica Oppenheim, confirmed the company's awareness of the situation and communication with authorities.
