Paris attack : Muslim group takes French government to court over 'illegal' anti-terror police raids

A GROUP of Muslims have launched more than a dozen legal challenges against the French government over what they say are illegal attempts to foil another Paris-style jihadi plot.

The Interior Ministry is allowed to target anyone it believes poses a threat to public security

Authorities in France have carried out more than 2,700 raids and enforced 360 house arrests in the month since the
terror attacks, which left 130 dead.

A state of emergency has been in place since the co-ordinated shootings and bombings, giving authorities extra powers to conduct raids without a court warrant.
In that time 51 people have been jailed, primarily for weapons or drugs offences.
