A man carrying a dummy explosive belt has forced his way into the Iranian diplomatic mission in Paris, triggering a major police operation.<\/p>\n

According to the Paris Prefecture of Police, a special police unit initially cordoned off the area on Friday due to fears of a threat.
\nThe 60-year-old Iranian finally left the consular section of the embassy of his own accord and was detained, the public prosecutor\u2019s office announced.<\/p>\n

He had threatened to commit an act of violence in the building but ultimately had no weapons with him.<\/p>\n

The man was taken into police custody on the charge of making a death threat.<\/p>\n

The Iranian, who lives in France, had already set fire to car tyres in front of the embassy building last September in protest against the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

He had been sentenced to a suspended sentence for this offence, which was not yet legally binding, the public prosecutor\u2019s office added.<\/p>\n

The criminal investigation department is now trying to determine the man\u2019s motives for his intrusion into the consular section of the embassy.<\/p>\n
