Pig heads were found outside at least nine mosques in and around Paris on Tuesday, authorities said, with the name of French President Emmanuel Macron written on five of them.

Authorities did not say who might be behind the attacks, but pledged support for France's Muslim population. France has the largest Muslim population in Europe, more than 6 million, for whom eating pork is forbidden.

"I want our Muslim compatriots to be able to practice their faith in peace," Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau told reporters.

Paris police chief Laurent Nunez said he could not rule out foreign intervention to destabilize France as it faces a fiscal and political crisis.

"We cannot avoid drawing parallels with previous actions, which often took place at night and were proven to be acts of foreign interference," he said.

He did not provide further details, but France has accused Russia of trying to sow discord in the past. Three Serbs accused of links to a "foreign power" were arrested after synagogues and a Holocaust memorial were vandalized with green paint in May.
