The new measures give security services permanent authority to shut places of worship deemed to be fostering extremism, restrict the movements of terrorism suspects and search their homes without prior approval of a court.

France's lower house of parliament approved this anti-terrorism law on October 3 by a vote of 415 to 127, with 19 abstentions.
