Portuguese aviation authorities intercepted a conversation Thursday on a possible attack against the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, local media reported Friday.
The Santa Maria aerial center intercepted the conversation early Thursday on an attack against the Eiffel Tower through short-wave radio, according to police sources.
Portuguese officials were immediately wary of the situation and alerted their French counterparts, who are trying to identify the suspects involved in the telephone conversation by the territory surveillance services.
It was a "vague and confused" conversation that have put Portuguese and French officials on alert because other similar messages have been also intercepted on Internet in recent days on possible terrorist attacks against Paris, the reports added.
