BREAKING NEWS: Eiffel Tower Reopens After Bomb Threat

The Eiffel Tower is now back opened after nothing was found.

PARIS, France - According to FOXNews.com  France’s famous Eiffel Tower was evacuated of all
tourists and staff  Friday  after a bomb alert, according to police.

Reuters is reporting  the 1,062-foot iron tower was evacuated around 2 p.m. (12:30 GMT) and has not reopened to tourists yet.

Built in 1889 and one of the world's most recognizable monuments, the Eiffel Tower sees about 7 million visitors a year and as many as 30,000 per day in the peak summer season.

It's regularly subject to bomb scares but these threats are usually quickly found to be hoaxes and only cause full evacuations a few times a year.
