French police have made an appeal for information in their hunt for a man suspected of planting a parcel bomb in Lyon, which injured 13 people. The device went off outside a bakery on a busy street in the heart of the country's third-biggest city. Those hurt, including a girl aged eight, appear to have suffered superficial injuries. Anti-terrorist prosecutors have taken over the investigation and security has been boosted in public places. Police released a grainy image of the suspect taken from CCTV footage. They said he was wearing a long-sleeved dark top and light-coloured shorts. A police source told AFP news agency the suspect appeared to be about 30 and was using a black mountain bike.
