An anti-terrorist operation is currently underway in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil, a police official told Reuters. Special police RAID units are involved in the searches, French media reported.
Some 20 people have been arrested during the searches, iTele reported, adding that police did not find any explosives or arms during the operation.
The operation is not connected to the recent Nice attacks, a justice official told Reuters.
“Raids are conducted in two locations by DGSI [General Directorate for Internal Security], with the support of the elite RAID [Research, Assistance, Intervention, Deterrence] police officers,” a police source told AFP.
The operation is taking place near the Dassault mosque and Al Bayyinah Islamic library in the town, French media reported.
Le Parisien newspaper reported that the first search took place on Parc avenue near the mosque and targeted a house where a certain family lived.
All members of the family, including children, have been arrested.
