PARIS — France has banned three Islamic associations which ran a mosque in the Paris area that was shut down following November’s jihadist attacks on the capital, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said today (Jan 13).
“There is no place in the French Republic for groups which incite, and which call for terrorism or call for hate,” Mr Cazeneuve said.
The mosque at Lagny-sur-Marne was shut down in early December as part of a huge security crackdown after 130 people were killed in a coordinated series of shootings and suicide bombings in Paris on November 13. The Islamic State group claimed it carried out the attacks. AFP
