A man has been shot dead after trying to seize a soldier's weapon at Paris's Orly airport, French officials say.

The 39-year-old was killed by the security forces after attacking a patrol in the airport's south terminal.

The airport has now partially reopened after what the authorities described as an extremely serious incident.

The man was involved in a shooting north of Paris earlier on Saturday. He had been reported as radicalised in the past, and was a police watch-list.
