One person was killed and at least five were injured in a parcel bomb explosion at law offices in central Paris.

The former law firm of President Nicolas Sarkozy, Arnaud Claude et AssociГ©s, is located in the same building as the office where the device exploded, at 52 Boulevard Malesherbes.

The building also contains an office for The Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah - a Holocaust remembrance body.

A lawyer and his secretary were among those injured, the French news agency AFP reported.

CNN correspondent in Paris said it is believed a female secretary was killed in the blast.

French officials said the parcel bomb exploded on the fourth floor - not the one where Sarkozy's old firm is located.
