France: 28-year-old man arrested in a mosque with bladed weapons

Initial checks found a blood alcohol level close to 0.77 mg and a record of prior delinquency; he was not, however, known to intelligence services. The prosecutor in Rodez took up the case, and terrorism is not being considered at this stage.

The lawsuit, filed in November 2025, seeks $3 million for harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress; Pinkett Smith denies the allegations and calls them false and uncorroborated.

The dispute dates back to a November 14, 2001, lease contract between the state and Projet Pilote Garoubé (PPG) for the operation of a ranch and agro-activities.
