OAS metropole terror reached nearly into the French foreign ministry and Eiffel Tower.

Evidence

Among them, on 22 January, was a bomb set off in the Quai d’Orsay, which killed one employee and wounded twelve others, the most lethal incident in the O.A.S. campaign in France so far. Plans captured by the Paris police enabled them to forestall, just in time, attempts to dynamite the Eiffel Tower and to explode another series of forty-eight bombs. β€” Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1527
