France was looking to clamp down on people making fake bomb threats that closed tourist attractions and airports across the country on Wednesday. Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti blamed “little jokers” for a spate of threats that temporarily shut the Eiffel Tower, Versailles Palace, and about six airports. The fake threats were made after a teacher was killed in the city of Arras and France raised the national terror threat to its highest level.
