French Police Have Conducted Nearly 800 Raids Since Terror Attacks


parFrench authorities say police have conducted 793 raids since last week’s attacks on a rock concert, Parisian cafes and the national stadium.

The new tally was announced Friday by the Interior Ministry.

Last night alone, police reported performing 182 raids, detaining 17 people, and seizing 76 weapons plus drugs.

After five nights of raids, authorities says police have detained 90 people and seized 174 weapons, including 18 military-style firearms, 84 rifles and 68 handguns.

In addition, 164 people have been placed under house arrest with new powers permitted under France’s state of emergency. Police also seized 250,000 euros.

The Senate is expected to vote Friday afternoon to extend the state of emergency for three more months.
