Police scour homes of French group in anti-terror action

None

PARIS - About 200 police officers are searching a dozen homes and the headquarters of an association based outside the port city of Dunkirk in northern France in an anti-terror operation.

 

The prefecture of France's northern region said on Tuesday that police are at the Centre Zahra France in Grande-Synthe. Homes of the little-known association's leaders are also being searched.

 

A statement said the association has been "particularly followed due to marked support by its leaders for movements advocating ideas contrary to the values of the (French) Republic."
