France opens probe into LaFarge's Daesh links

France has launched a judicial inquiry into the Syrian activities of construction group LafargeHolcim, whose murky deals with armed groups in the war-torn country were exposed by FRANCE 24 and French daily Le Monde.

The probe will look into the "financing of terrorist enterprises" and the endangering of lives, a judicial source said Tuesday. The source said one anti-terror judge and two financial judges will be in charge of the case.
