PARIS, March 28 (Reuters) - France's anti-terrorism prosecutor's office has opened a probe into a suspected attack targeting Bank of America's BAC.N Paris headquarters, it said on Saturday.

In an e-mailed statement to Reuters, it said the investigation involves the suspected attempted destruction by fire or other dangerous means in connection with a terrorist plot, as well as the making, possession and transport of an incendiary or explosive device with intent to carry out dangerous damage.

The probe also includes a charge of participation in a terrorist criminal association, covering potential links to accomplices or a broader network, the prosecutor's office said.
