Eiffel Tower reopens to tourists after security threat proves false

The Eiffel Tower has reopened to tourists after a two-hour break due to a security threat.

Authorities evacuated tourists from the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Wednesday evening after police had received an anonymous telephone call about a possible terrorist act.

About 4,000 visitors were urgently evacuated from the tower and the adjacent area.

Police checked the information about a possible plane attack on the tower and allowed its administration to reopen it to tourists at 17:45 GMT.
