(IsraelNN.com) Thousands of people were told to evacuate the international Paris book fair after a bomb threat was received.

This year's book fair gave special honor to Israel, because of the 60th anniversary of its independence. Israeli writers Amos Oz, A. B. Yehoshua, Aharon Appelfeld and others participated at the fair, and President Shimon Peres also paid a visit.

Arab countries including Lebanon, Yemen,, Tunisia and Morocco boycotted the fair because of the special honor given Israel.

I hope they figure out who was behind it. It sounds like everyone was OK?

I don’t think it takes a mental giant to figure out who was behind this...

The same folks who plant bombs all over the world and fly airplanes into buildings...

Ya think?

Reports of a bomb at the Congress Center in southern Paris, where the Paris International Book Fair was being held Sunday, were most likely a false alarm.

Thousands of visitors who were evacuated from the scene are now returning to the fair. (Lior Zilberstein)

There’s ever only been 3 options.

Submit to them.
Be killed by them.
Kill them.

Maybe they need help figuring out who did it. Maybe they can’t make the connection between Cult of Death and violence.

Thanks for the ping.

My mind is thinking the same as yours, on the who.

I meant moreso the exact culprits... I mean the MOST obvious part is the “Youths” that kept Paris burning a while back...
