France's interior minister Brice Hortefeux has called for the withdrawal of citizenship of immigrants who practise polygamy or female genital mutilation. Hortefeux said there were "possibilities to have nationality withdrawn in the case of polygamy, genital mutilation and serious wrongdoing". The punishment would not apply only to immigrants, but also to those who have a foreign background, even if they were born in France.
The warning of a potential attack by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula was received 'in the last few hours', the French Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux told a European television network.
