Pig heads found outside nine mosques in Paris

French authorities have launched a criminal investigation after pig's heads were discovered outside nine mosques in France capital Paris and its surrounding suburbs on Tuesday, September 9. 

Officials are treating the incidents as a coordinated act of anti-Muslim provocation.

The heads were placed at the entrances of mosques in multiple locations, including Montreuil,



Montrouge, Malakoff, Gentilly, and four districts within the capital. The timing and manner of the incidents — all occurring within hours — suggest deliberate coordination.
