PARIS (Reuters) -A man who had threatened to blow himself up at Iran's consulate in Paris was arrested by police, a police source said.

       French police earlier cordoned off the Iranian consulate, Reuters reporters saw.

       A police source told Reuters the man was seen at about 11 am (0900 GMT) entering the consulate, carrying what appeared to be a grenade and explosive vest.
