10 arrests in Paris, bomb threat closes train station
Paris police say the Gare de l`Est train station has been closed and evacuated after a bomb threat Jan. 16, as authorities try to prevent new violence after the worst terrorist attacks in decades.

The Gare de l`Est is one of several major train stations in Paris, serving cities in eastern Paris and countries to the east.
