(Reuters) Updated 1 min 20 sec ago AFP June 26, 2018 23:20 104 PARIS: French police on Tuesday continued questioning 10 suspected far-right extremists over an alleged plot to attack Muslims that has fueled safety concerns in Europe’s biggest Muslim community. Nine men and one woman aged 32 to 69 were arrested in raids across France on Saturday. The suspects, whose detention was extended late Monday for a further 48 hours, had an “ill-defined plan to commit a violent act targeting people of the Muslim faith.” Police have linked the 10 to a little-known group called Action des Forces Operationnelles (Operational Forces Action), which urges French people to combat Muslims, or what it calls “the enemy within.” Rifles, handguns and homemade grenades were found during searches in the Paris area, the Mediterranean island of Corsica and the western Charentes-Maritimes region.
