Three Parcel Bombs Target Public Figures in Dordogne, One Detonates Without Injuries

The case remains under the Périgueux prosecutor rather than the national anti-terror office.

Overview

  • A package detonated in a postal worker’s van in Roche-Chalais, and two others were located at the Saint-Aulaye post office and neutralized by bomb-disposal teams from Bordeaux.
  • The parcels were addressed to a nationally known MP not from Dordogne, a journalist, and a humorist, with identities undisclosed.
  • The devices featured small detonators and low-power charges considered non-lethal yet capable of causing injuries, and no one was hurt.
  • An investigation has been opened by the Périgueux prosecutor and assigned to the Bordeaux research section, while the national anti-terrorism prosecutor has not taken the case.
  • No arrests have been announced and the sender remains unknown, with investigators weighing possibilities from a malicious prank to targeted intimidation.
