Paris - Muslims places of worship in two French towns were
fired upon overnight, leaving no casualties, prosecutors said on Thursday.
Three blank grenades were thrown at a mosque shortly after midnight in the city of Le Mans, west of Paris, and shots were fired in the direction of a Muslim prayer hall shortly after evening prayers in the Port-la-Nouvelle district near Narbonne in southern France.
An explosion at a kebab shop near a mosque in the eastern French town of Villefranche-sur-Saone on Thursday morning also left no casualties.
"It is a criminal act," a local official told AFP, adding that a police investigation has been opened.
No link was suggested with the deadly attack on Paris magazine Charlie Hebdo a day earlier.
