Citigroup and Goldman Sachs stepped up security in Paris on Thursday, telling staff they can work from home, after authorities thwarted an attack against another US financial institution that French prosecutors said might have been linked to a pro-Iran group.

According to a French police source, Goldman Sachs in London received an email from the US authorities warning that a pro-Iranian group was threatening to attack US banks with explosive devices.
