Air France has resumed flights to Los Angeles from Paris after no evidence of a terrorist plot was uncovered.

The French national carrier cancelled flights between Paris and Los Angeles after US officials told French authorities that the al-Qaida terrorist group might be planning a Christmas Day attack on an Air France flight from the French capital to Los Angeles.

Seven men were released after questioning by counterintelligence agents at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport on Christmas Eve, reports The Associated Press.
