French Police Seize 17 in Raids Following Killings in Toulouse

By ALAN COWELL
Published: March 30, 2012

PARIS — Eight days after the police shot dead the self-confessed killer of four Jews and three French paratroopers in southwestern France, elite units on Friday raided localities in several parts of the country and detained 17 people described as Islamic militants. ...

President Nicolas Sarkozy said Kalashnikov assault rifles had been seized in the raids, which, he told Europe 1 radio, “are going to continue” and would lead to “a certain number of people” being expelled from France. ...

Mr. Sarkozy had earlier demanded that the police evaluate the threat presented by people regarded as sympathetic to militant Islam. ...

Before the authorities closed down its Web site, the group said it sought to recruit “soldiers,” though for what purpose remained unclear. The leader of the group, Mohammed Achamlane, has denied that the group is seeking jihadist recruits, but he was among those detained on Friday, news reports said.
