A car deliberately rammed into a police van before bursting into flames on Champs-Elysees avenue in Paris on Monday, French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said. The 31-year-old driver, who died when the car exploded, had already been on police’s security watchlist. A Kalashnikov rifle, handguns and gas bottles were found in the car. No one else was hurt in the incident. "Once again our security forces have been targeted. The threat is extremely high," Collomb said on Twitter, calling the incident an “attempted attack.”
