France: Police arrest suspected Islamists, Sarkozy eyes more raids



Via Reuters:
French police commandos arrested 19 people suspected of radical Islamist activity in Friday morning raids in several cities including Toulouse, scene of the killings of seven people by an al Qaeda-inspired gunman earlier this month.

President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is waging an uphill battle for re-election, said more raids would follow.

“There will be further operations, allowing us to expel a number of people who have no business in the country,” he said in an interview on Europe 1 radio.
