One person has been killed and five others wounded following an explosion at a law office on Paris's boulevard Malesherbes. It is believed the explosion was caused by a parcel bomb. An advocate and his secretary are among the most seriously injured.

President Nicolas Sarkozy had a practice in the building in the 1980s. It is also the headquarters of the Holocaust Memorial Foundation.

Police say a second parcel bomb is being defused. The explosion occurred on the fourth four of the building in the 8th arrondisement.
