Parisian department store Printemps had to be evacuated today after explosives were found in the famous shop.

Five sticks of explosives were found in the store after a warning from a group calling itself the Afghan Revolutionary Front, which wants French troops withdrawn from Afghanistan.

The group warned of several devises planted around the store which was promptly evacuated.

Officials said that the explosives were found in the washrooms on the first and second floor washrooms but were not linked to detonators.
