France: Troops shoot at car that 'attempted to ram mosque'

A solider and a passerby have been slightly injured after a man tried to run his car into troops protecting a mosque in Southern France.

The driver of the car was wounded when the soldiers shot at him, mayor Nicolas Daragon told the iTELE newschannel.

It's thought the passerby was hit by a stray bullet shot by the troops.

The man was taken to hospital, and his identity, motives and psychiatric state were not yet known, Mr Daragon said.
