France could reportedly expel around 200 foreigners on a watchlist for suspected extremist religious beliefs in light of the beheading of a French teacher, while the interior minister said more police operations are planned.
An investigation for murder with a suspected terrorist motive has been opened, according to French anti-terrorism proseuctor Jean-Francois Ricard.
Gerald Darmanin, the French interior minister, said on Monday: “Police operations have taken place and more will take place, concerning tens of individuals.” His comments come after a police source said France was preparing to expel 231 foreigners – all on a government watchlist for suspected extremist religious beliefs – from the country.
Mr Darmanin also said he was looking into whether or not certain groups from the French Muslim community should be dissolved following accusations of promoting violence and hate.
Around 80 investigations are also underway into online hate speech in France, the interior minister told radio station Europe 1.
French authorities said on Sunday they had detained an eleventh person following the killing, which was carried out by an 18-year-old born in Moscow of Chechen origin, and who had been living in the town of Evreux northwest of Paris. He was not previously known to the intelligence services.

What’s the hurry for expulsion of the 200? Are all the teachers of sane civilization safe from the other 200,000 murderous maniacs in France? // When, at least, will the anecdotal Black Jack Pershing deterrant be applied? Is pig manure in short supply?
