ALBAWABA - French authorities have evacuated the headquarters of the country's hard-left party after a bomb threat, AFP reported Wednesday.

The office of La France Insoumise in the capital, Paris, was evacuated after a bomb threat.

The party was accused of partial responsibility in the killing of a far-right activist, the French media reported.

"The national headquarters of LFI have just been evacuated following a bomb threat. Police services are on site. All employees and activists are safe," the party's coordinator Manuel Bompard posted on his social media account.

La France Insoumise is a left-wing political party in France. It was launched in 2016 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who was back then a Member of the European Parliament and former co-president of the Left Party.
