Paris: Ten people have been arrested in France over a suspected plot to target politicians and mosques, a source close to the investigation told AFP on Tuesday.
The arrests by anti-terror police of suspects aged 17-25 were part of an investigation into far-right activists, the source said.
The nine men and one woman are suspected of links to Logan Alexandre Nisin, a former militant of the far-right group Action Francaise Provence who was arrested in June, the source said.
Another source named the targeted politicians as government spokesman Christophe Castaner and radical left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon.
