Gunmen in Paris Rob Saudi Prince of $335,000 Cash


French police say armed gunmen have attacked the motorcade of a Saudi Arabian prince in Paris, making off with $335,000 in cash and some sensitive documents.

The assault took place late Sunday in northern Paris as the convoy was headed to an airport in Le Bourget.

No one was injured in the incident.

The French News Agency reports the prince's car was stolen and was later found burned.

Police say the robbers were obviously well-informed about the prince's itinerary.

No arrests have been made in the case.
