Four people have been killed and eleven others injured after an explosion destroyed a four-storey building in a suburb of Paris on Sunday morning.

Rescue teams with sniffer dogs are searching through the rubble for five other people, including a child, who are still missing. ...

Rosny-sous-Bois is the correct name of the Suburb. The Centre Technique de la Gendarmerie Nationale is there. It is sort of like the FBI labs.

It translates literally as Rosny-Under-Wood. Figuratively it would be 'Rosny in the Woods'.
