There are strong rumours in the forex markets that a Moroccan plane has been found to have explosives on it somewhere in France.
The market often comes up with wacky rumours, so there may well be no truth in it, but has anyone heard anything a little more concrete?
The rumours were right.
This from Reuters.
PARIS, Sept 26 (Reuters) - A plastic explosive was found on
Wednesday on board an airplane which landed in the northeastern
French airport of Metz from Marrakesh in Morocco, sources close
to French police said on Thursday.
Police were running tests to identify the composition of the
small stick of plastic, which did not have a detonator.
Sniffer dogs found the device hidden between two seats
during a check of the aircraft after passengers had disembarked
at around 10:30 p.m. (2030 GMT), one of the sources said.
