PARIS (BNO NEWS) -- The Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars were evacuated on late Tuesday evening over a reported bomb threat, according to local BFM TV.
BFM TV reported that some 25,000 people were evacuated from the area, and said the bomb squad was on scene.
LIVE TV REPORTAGEquote:Bomb threat follows burqa law
FRENCH police evacuated the Eiffel Tower and the park surrounding the Paris landmark today after a bomb alert.
A police officer said about 25,000 people were in the area at the time of the scare but added that they left calmly shortly before 9pm local time.
The officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the alert was sounded either after a threat was phoned in or following the discovery of a suspicious package.
The people evacuated, mostly French and foreign tourists, were asked to stay on the nearby Seine river banks, and the tower area and Champ de Mars park were also declared off limits.
The scare happened just hours after the French parliament passed a law prohibiting wearing a full-face veil in public, meaning a ban will come into force early next year if it is not overturned by senior judges.
The bill makes no mention of Islam, but President Nicolas Sarkozy's government promoted it as a means to protect women from being forced to wear Muslim full-face veils such as the burqa or the niqab.
There has not been any suggestion so far that the two events are linked, however.

Misschien iets te maken met onderstaand bericht van een paar dagen geleden.
quote:Risk of terror attack in France ‘never been higher’, says spy chief
The risk of a terrorist attack on French soil has never been higher, according to Bernard Squarcini, head of the country’s counterespionage agency in an interview published Saturday.
AP - The risk of a terrorist attack on French soil has never been higher, the head of the country’s counterespionage agency said in an interview released Saturday.
Bernard Squarcini told Le Journal du Dimanche newspaper that France’s history as a colonial master in North Africa, its military presence in Afghanistan and a proposal aimed at banning full-covering face veils in public all make the country a prime target for certain radical Islamist groups.
The risk of an attack is now as high as it was in 1995, before deadly attacks on the Paris subway by Algerian Islamic extremists, he said.
“Objectively, there are reasons for worry. The threat has never been as high” as now, the interview quotes Squarcini as saying. “We foil an average of two (planned) attacks a year, but one day or another, we’re going to get hit.”
Squarcini said the threat is threefold, coming from al-Qaida’s North African affiliate - an Algerian insurgent group that allied itself with the international terror network several years ago and has targeted French interest in the region in the past - radical French converts to Islam and French nationals who have trained with extremist groups in Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia.
“All (such) scenarios are possible,” Squarcini said.
He added that before the 1995 bombings on the Paris subway, which killed
eight people and wounded hundreds, the risk came solely from insurgent groups from France’s former colony, Algeria. One such group, the Armed Islamic Group, claimed responsibility for the 1995 attacks.
Next week, the Senate, the upper house of the French parliament, will vote on a bill that would ban the wearing of burqas or niqabs, fully covering Islamic veils, in public places in France. The proposal, which was overwhelmingly approved in the lower house of parliament in July, drew the indignation of the No. 2 of al-Qaida, Ayman al-Zawahri, who said the drive to ban the veil amounted to discrimination against Muslim women.
France’s terror alert level remains at red, the second-highest rank out of four.
The problem is not the occupation, but how people deal with it.

La Tour Eiffel et le Champ-de-Mars, tout proche, ont été évacués par la police parisienne mardi soir à la suite d'une alerte à la bombe, a constaté un journaliste de l'AFP.

Dit komt waarschijnlijk uit Islamitische hoek als reactie op het verbieden van burka's in den openbare ruimte.
