France ramps up Paris security after foiled attack on US bank

In France on 2 April 2026, four people, three of them minors, were charged over a foiled attack at a Bank of America branch in Paris. Times of Israel describes it as a suspected Iran-linked attack. Goldman and Citi told their Paris staff to work from home, and US banks in Paris ramped up security.

Separately, French police took Rima Hassan, a member of the European Parliament, into custody in Paris over a terror glorification probe, over an X post that Jerusalem Post says justified an attack on an Israeli airport. France also banned an annual gathering of Muslims in Paris amid terrorism fears and security risks.
