France expels two Moroccans over security threats

With a string of terrorist attacks in France over the past months, Paris has expelled two Moroccans after evidence was found that they could pose serious security threats by “their continuous stay on French soil.”

“Given the serious threat posed by their continuous stay on French soil, the interior ministry has decided to expel them immediately,” a statement by the French Interior Ministry said without giving any further details about the individuals, Press TV reported.

Officials would not elaborate on the evidence which they said could prove radical inclinations in the two Moroccan nationals.

France has been in a state of emergency since January last year after a series of high-profile terror attacks began to rattle the country. Officials say over 235 people have been killed with the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group claiming responsibility for the bulk of them.

Officials say most of those involved in suspected terror activities in France are from countries such as Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.
