Five adolescents aged 15 to 17 have been taken into custody in eastern France for questioning over the vandalism of Jewish graves, a local prosecutor said today.

All five are from the region of Sarre-Union in Alsace, where around 300 tombs were defaced over the weekend. The youngest came forward after being shocked by the massive reaction across the country to the vandalism, the prosecutor said.
