PARIS (Reuters) - France says that national carrier Air France has cancelled three U.S.-bound flights from Paris due to security concerns.

An Air France spokeswoman confirmed on Wednesday that a flight due to leave Paris at 1235 GMT for Los Angeles had been grounded "for security reasons".

An Interior Ministry spokesman said that two further flights to the United States had also been cancelled. It was not clear whether these flights were bound for Los Angeles or elsewhere.
