PARIS (Reuters) - One person was killed when a booby-trapped package exploded on Thursday in a central Parisian building where French President Nicolas Sarkozy's old law firm is located, a witness told French radio.
Police had said earlier six people were hurt in the explosion, with a lawyer and his secretary seriously injured.
The explosion took place in a building on Boulevard des Malesherbes in the west of the French capital.
A second package was in the process of being defused, French television LCI reported on its website.

Man detained over Paris bombing
Police in Paris have detained a man in connection with Thursday's parcel bomb attack at law offices which killed one person and injured several others.
A police source told the French news agency AFP that the man had been reported in 2005 for harassment of lawyer Catherine Gouet-Jenselme.
A secretary in the Gouet-Jenselme law firm was killed in the Paris bombing.
She had opened the package, which contained two explosive devices. A lawyer nearby was injured.
The former law firm of President Nicolas Sarkozy is located in the same building in central Paris, but there was no suggestion of a link.
The building also houses The Foundation for the Memory of the Holocaust.
The bomb went off shortly before 1300 local time (1200 GMT) on the fourth floor of the building, police said.
"Someone came to the office and left a package. The secretary who opened it in fact opened a parcel bomb. The parcel bomb killed her," Christian Charriere-Bournazel, president of the Paris bar association, told the Associated Press news agency.
The identity of the woman is yet to be released, while the injured lawyer was named as Olivier Brane.
An eyewitness said he first heard a muffled explosion, and later saw a blonde woman carried out of the building.
"She was completely covered with blood, she was unconscious," Damien Laude told AP.
Mr Laude said he also saw a man with a head wound emerging from the building.
About 10 people were treated for shock, officials said. |

Coincidence? I think not. Odds are.... very big that the target would be next door to, but independent of, the spectre of the MOSSAD agent now steering France into a collision with 'Islamofascists.'
