PARIS (AP) Police boosted security on trains in northeast France on Wednesday after receiving a tip about a suspected terrorist threat to the rail line between Basel, Switzerland and Luxembourg, police and prosecutors said.

The DST counterintelligence service opened an investigation into the suspected threat after Luxembourg tipped off France's Interior Ministry overnight, the Paris prosecutor's office said.
A member of France's Synergie Officier police union said police and train agents had been handed a flyer with information on physical characteristics of five Iranians suspected in connection with the threat.
