Paris - The French Environment Minister, Mr Yves Cochet, said yesterday that an explosion at a chemicals plant last week in Toulouse in which 29 people died could have been caused by an attack.
"All theories are open until we have the results of investigations," he said on French radio, adding that the eventuality of an attack was "weak". Mr Cochet said that there are currently four enquiries ongoing into the explosion on September 21st at a factory belonging to the TotalFinaElf group.
