00:00A grisly discovery outside a mosque in Paris 18th arrondissement and a similar

00:06one was made this morning in a Malikoff suburb with the name Macron written on

00:11the animal's head. In total nine incidents were reported overnight in

00:15Paris and its outskirts. Here in Montreuil CCTV cameras filmed this man

00:21preparing to leave one of the pig's heads, an animal considered impure by

00:25Islam. The mosque's guard made the macabre discovery.

00:30How did you react when you saw that?

00:33Well I said what's going on? It's the first time I've seen that. I've been doing

00:37this for 14 years now. The rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris called it a new and

00:43sad stage in the rise of anti-Muslim hatred. An investigation has been launched to

00:49find the perpetrators and the Minister of Interior expressed his outrage.

00:54This is absolutely unacceptable, unacceptable, and I sincerely hope that the perpetrators

01:00who committed this kind of desecration will be found.
