Police are on the scene near the Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand train station in Paris after French police shot and wounded a woman who was making threats, a police source told AFP. According to witnesses the woman, who was completely veiled, shouted "Allahu akbar" ("God is Greatest") and "made threats", the source said, adding that "police fired because they feared for their safety". After passengers on a suburban train alerted police, agents managed to "isolate" the woman at the Bibliotheque Francois Mitterrand station on the capital's south bank, the source said. IMAGES
