A Reuters stringer took this photograph yesterday of a police officer surveying some of the 148 headstones that were vandalized in the Muslim section of the Notre Dame de Lorette military cemetery in Ablain-Saint-Nazaire, France.
In addition to a swastika, the gravestones in this photograph appear to include the words "white power."
The vandals placed a pig's head on one of the graves, according to Reuters.
"This hateful act is also a attack on the memory of all veterans of World War I, beyond the faith of each one," the president's office says in a statement, according to AFP.
Le Monde has video footage.
