By Gregory Viscusi
Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- A parcel bomb explosion in a Paris lawyers' office killed one person in the city's eighth arrondissement, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.
The explosion occurred at 52 Boulevard Malesherbes, a building housing several lawyers' offices and the Shoah Foundation dedicated to research into the Nazi Holocaust, Christian Charriere-Bournazel, head of the Paris lawyers' bar, told reporters.
A package delivered this morning exploded on the fourth floor of the building, killing a secretary in the lawyers' office, Charriere-Bournazel said. The motive for the attack wasn't clear, he said.
On the first floor of the same building is the legal practice where French President Nicolas Sarkozy was formerly a partner. The law firm carried Sarkozy's name until just after his election to the presidency last May.
Interior Ministry Michele Alliot-Marie cut short a trip to Brussels to return to the French capital because of the attack, the ministry said in an e-mailed statement. One other person was hurt and several were suffering from shock, the ministry said.
Police shut off part of the Boulevard Malesherbes and are looking for another bomb, a spokeswoman said.
The police spokeswoman, who asked not to be identified, wouldn't discuss who might have been the target of the explosion.
