In France, 3 Kurdish women were found dead with gunshots to the head in the early hours of Thursday, police in Paris said, in an unexplained act of violence that will likely shock the Kurdish community.
French Interior Minister Manuel Valls told reporters in Paris the three women had been “without doubt executed” and described the killings as “totally unacceptable.”
The bodies were found at about 2 a.m. local time in the Information Center for Kurdistan in Paris, in a central district of the capital, a police representative said.
A criminal investigation is under way, according to police. They have not yet confirmed the names or ages of the three women, but a police spokesman told CNN the victims were in their 30s.
Valls said one of the victims was the head of the Information Center for Kurdistan, Fidan Dogan.
The minister said an anti-terror unit had been mobilized alongside the criminal police to investigate.
It’s not yet clear what the motive for the killings might be.
