French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said on Wednesday that three mosques have been shut down in France since the Paris attacks, ABC News reported.
Cazeneuve told reporters it was the first time mosques are being closed in France "on grounds of radicalization."
One of the mosques, 35 kilometers (22 miles) east of Paris in Lagny-sur-Marne, was targeted by raids early Wednesday, with police seizing a 9mm revolver, a computer hard disc and jihadist propaganda. Cazeneuve said the mosque also had a non-authorized Quranic school.
One person was placed in custody following the raids, with 22 others banned from leaving France. Nine others were put under house arrest.
The two other mosques, in Lyon and Gennevilliers in the Paris region, were shut down last week amid a state of emergency.
