Une explosion blesse grièvement une jeune fille à Genève
Original
An explosion occurred shortly after 4:00 pm on Monday in a building on the Chemin de la Petite-Boissière in the Grange-Canal district of Geneva. A young girl was seriously injured, the Office of the Attorney General of Geneva said in a press release on Tuesday.
The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland, which has sole jurisdiction in cases involving the use of explosives, has taken over proceedings, Geneva prosecutors said.
On Monday, the Geneva police cordoned off the Grange-Canal area and carried out an initial investigation. Local media later reported the presence of a parcel bomb in the lobby of the building where the explosion occurred.
