Serbian police have arrested 11 people suspected of placing pig heads outside mosques and targeting Jewish sites in and around Paris this month on the orders of a foreign intelligence service, the interior ministry said in a statement on Monday.



As well as placing the pig heads outside at least nine mosques, those arrested are suspected of throwing green paint on the Holocaust Museum, several synagogues and a Jewish restaurant, all in Paris, and putting concrete "skeletons" in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.



The suspects were trained in Serbia and are all Serbian, the interior ministry said.



Another suspect, identified in the statement by the initials M.G., is suspected of training them "on the instructions of a foreign intelligence service" and is on the run, it said.
