Actors cause French security alert─── 10:43 Sat, 02 Dec 2017
A Belgian comedy theatre group on tour in France has caused a major security alert after practising their lines on a train journey from Paris to Troyes.
BBC reports the satirical play in question, Jihad, tells the story of three young people who are preparing to "go to Syria" to wage "jihad" against "unbelievers".
A worried passenger tipped off the police, unaware that the group of four were actors practising their lines.
Prior to the train's arrival, the station was evacuated and actors arrested on arrival.
They were let go after an identity check and a search of their belongings.
Despite the incident being a false alarm, police lauded the public's responsiveness.
