NANTES, France, Jan 29 (AFP) – For the third time in ten days, a small explosive charge detonated Thursday near the home of France’s only Muslim prefect, destroying a letterbox at a nearby school.
Police in the western city of Nantes were investigating if there was a link with charges that destroyed the car of Aissa Dermouche and damaged the entrance to the business school which he ran.
Two weeks ago the Algerian-born Dermouche was appointed prefect – or governor – of the department of Jura on the Swiss border, in the midst of a heated debate over positive discrimination.
