French police arrest Muslim radical cleric
 | And now for some good news ... |
LYON (France) â An alleged firebrand imam faces expulsion from France as a threat to national security after police arrested him in the central-eastern city of Lyon on Tuesday, a local official said. âAbdallah Cam, 42, was arrested in Villeurbanne, where he lives, during a routine check. The police officers perceived that he was the subject of an expulsion order dated August 26 and took him to a detention centre,â said a Lyon police spokeswoman. The Turkish cleric, who is being held at a centre at Lyonâs Saint-Exupery airport, is among a number of radical imams who have been singled out for their âviolent and extremistâ preaching.
