An explosion on Sunday morning slightly damaged a school that was until recently headed by a man who recently became France's first Muslim prefect.
The car of the prefect, Aïssa Dermouche, was bombed a week ago, and no one was injured in that attack. The police cordoned off the area around the Audencia business school, whose entrance was damaged, to determine whether material used in the blast was the same as that used to destroy the car.
Dermouche, 57, born in Algeria, was named to the post of prefect, the state's highest representative of a region, on Jan. 14.
