Eiffel Tower to go dark for Saint Petersburg victims

The mayor of Paris says that the lights on the Eiffel Tower will be switched off tonight to honor the victims of the suicide bombing attack in Saint Petersburg.

In a tweet Monday, Anne Hidalgo says the action would send a message of unity.

The lights on the iconic Paris monument will be turned off from midnight.

Fourteen people were killed and 49 injured yesterday afternoon when a bomb ripped through a metro station in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
