PARIS —
French police on Saturday found an unexploded bomb on the tracks of a high-speed railway in central France, French radio said.
The bomb was found near Lyons in a gas canister on the rail line to Paris. It was apparently meant to explode when a high-speed train passed but did not go off because of a fault, France Info radio said today.
Homemade explosives had been packed into the canister. The bomb was taken to Paris for examination.
The incident, which disrupted train service on the route, followed two recent bombings in the French capital.
