A massive explosion ripped apart a bakery in central Paris on Saturday morning, killing at least four people and injuring several others. The intensity of the blast was so strong that windows of several nearby buildings got smashed and parked cars were also damaged. According to police, the blast - that occurred on the Rue de Trevise - was caused by a gas leak.   Â
