Anti-terrorism raid turns deadly in France

Published: October 07. 2012 4:00AM PST

French police officers fatally shot 33-year-old Jeremie Louis-Sidney during an antiterrorism raid in the northeastern city of Strasbourg Saturday, the police and judiciary officials said.

Other raids took place around Paris, Nice and Cannes, and 11 other suspects had been arrested, said Francois Molins, the Paris prosecutor, at a news conference. The raids stem from the investigation into a grenade explosion Sept. 19 in a kosher market in the Paris suburb of Sarcelles, in the midst of a controversy and protests over the mocking of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad in an anti-Islam video produced in the U.S. and cartoons published in a French satirical magazine.
