U.S. Alerts Goldman Sachs Paris After Iranian Group Threatens Terror Bombing
Five days after French authorities foiled a terror plot targeting Bank of America's Paris headquarters, the threat environment facing U.S. financial institutions in the French capital appears to be worsening.
New reporting from Le Parisien says Goldman Sachs' Paris headquarters was placed under police surveillance on Wednesday night following threats allegedly linked to Iranian terror networks.
Le Parisien outlines the rationale behind the heightened security posture:
It's 1:30 a.m. when the phone rings, shattering the night's calm.
A security guard on duty at the American bank receives a call from his head of security, based in London.
According to our information, she informs him that she has received an email from the American authorities, advising him to "extend his vigilance" at the bank.

But here's one that is likely to slip quietly under the radar: from next week, almost three-quarters of a million of the most severely ill and disabled people in the country could end up having a lifeline benefit cut in half.Cast your mind back to last summer. As the nation sweated through a heatwave and Oasis reunited, ministers were trying to push through “welfare reform” – a nice euphemism for £5bn worth of cuts to disability benefits. A backbench rebellion meant that Keir Starmer was forced to halt his overhaul of personal independence payments (Pip), but MPs voted through a brutal universal credit cut. Ministers justified reducing support for people too disabled or ill to work by arguing it would remove th...
