wonder if this is a day of terror....

PARIS (Reuters) - A bomb has exploded in front of the Indonesian embassy in Paris before dawn today, injuring about 10 people lightly, French radio station Europe 1 reports.

Windows in nearby buildings were shattered by the blast in the posh 16th arrondissement in the western part of the city, it said, quoting firemen at the scene.

"It was caused by a package bomb placed just in front of the embassy," the radio's reporter on the scene said.

"The explosion was quite strong ... several vehicles were damaged and windows in neighbouring apartments were shattered."

Some of the injured were embassy personnel, the reporter said.

French police refused to comment on the news.
