French police on Monday morning launched raids across the country, dismantling a network sending jihadist fighters to Syria, according to a police source.
Elite and anti-terror police units descended on around a dozen targets, mostly in the southern region of Toulouse, but also around Paris and in the northern region of Normandy, the source said on condition of anonymity, Alarabiya reports.
It was not immediately clear how many people were arrested.
In recent months France, which has Europe's largest Muslim population, has been facing the fact that hundreds of its citizens have openly joined jihadist groups in Iraq and Syria and have even called for attacks on their homeland.
