Hostages in Paris

PARIS (AP) — Two armed robbers were holding at least six hostages in a bank robbery south of Paris on Tuesday morning, police and news reports said.

Police said the hold up was at a branch of the Credit Lyonnais bank at Rungis. Television networks said the alert was raised by an employee who managed to escape.

The robbers then made their way to the top of the Eiffel Tower and are said to have wired one of the elevators with a large amount of explosives.

Officials are attempting to contact Superman so he can fling the elevator into space where it can be safely detonated.
