Terror Threat to Eiffel Tower

Portugal intercepts threat message against France's Eiffel Tower

LISBON, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- Portuguese aviation authorities
intercepted a conversation Thursday on a possible attack against the Eiffel
Tower in Paris, France, local media reported Friday.
The Santa Maria aerial center intercepted the
conversation early Thursday on an attack against the Eiffel Tower through
short-wave radio, according to police sources.
Portuguese officials were immediately wary of the
situation and alerted their French counterparts, who are trying to identify the
suspects involved in the telephone conversation by the territory surveillance
services.
It was a "vague and confused" conversation
that have put Portuguese and French officials on alert because other similar
messages have been also intercepted on Internet in recent days on possible
terrorist attacks against Paris, the reports added.
