MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Aly Kebe was accused of "involvement in a radical movement" and "activities of terrorist character that in case of his staying would have posed particularly serious threat to public security."

France has been on high security alert since last November’s attacks in Paris, which killed 130 people. The state of emergency was extended for six months in July after a truck attack in Nice claimed 84 lives.

The Interior Ministry has vowed to utilize all legal means at its disposal to fight terrorism. It said it had expelled 82 people since 2012. French media reported that the Mauritanian was the third migrant to have been deported from France in a week.
