Paris Subway Bombing Claims Third Victim

The bombing of a Paris subway claimed its third victim Thursday, when a Moroccan man died of wounds from Tuesday’s explosion, a hospital official said.

A spokesman for a public agency representing all Paris hospitals said the third victim was a hospitalized 25-year-old, whose name was not released. Another three of the 88 wounded were still in critical condition.

The bomb ripped through a rush-hour subway train Tuesday evening, killing a Canadian woman and a Frenchman outright. The Canadian woman’s newlywed husband was among those hospitalized with serious burns and other wounds.

Beefed-up security measures were in force around the nation Thursday. Barricades went up outside schools and 1,800 extra soldiers and police were patrolling train stations, airports, and tourist sites. Paris schools were told not to use the subway for class trips.
