France has been in a state of heightened alert following the stabbing of a person in Arras and the conflict in Israel-Palestine region.
Six airports across France were evacuated on Wednesday after emailed “threats of attack”, a police source told AFP.
The evacuations at Lille, Lyon, Nantes, Nice, Toulouse and Beauvais airport near Paris would allow authorities to “clear up any doubts” that the threats might be real, the source said.
