The group says it has hidden several bombs under French rail tracks.
PARIS, France -- Thousands of French rail workers are searching the network for bombs after a group threatened attacks unless it was paid millions of euros.
A letter from the previously unknown group, which calls itself AZF, has already directed police to an explosive device under tracks in central France, officials said.
Fearing more bombs may be hidden, the state rail company SNCF has sent nearly 10,000 maintenance workers to inspect its some 32,000 km (20,000 miles) of track on foot.

Did I read the post wrong from yesterday? I thought it was device in the singular sense....now it is several?
