Paris Gas Explosion

The death toll from a gas explosion in central Paris has risen to four after rescue workers found a woman's body in the rubble, investigators said Sunday.

A massive gas explosion destroyed the top floors and roof of a residential building in central Paris on Friday, injuring 17 people, rescuers and police said.

A huge explosion ripped through a building in the middle of Paris a short while ago.

An eight-year-old child and an octogenarian were killed and dozens injured in an explosion on Sunday that reduced half of a four-storey residential block in a Paris suburb to rubble, emergency services said.

Islamist militants holding dozens of Western hostages at a gas plant in Algeria have forced some to wear belts strapped with explosives, French television said on Thursday, quoting one of the hostages.
