PARIS, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Police have arrested 11 people, including four women, in Paris and the south of France as part of an anti-terrorist operation targeting networks recruiting fighters in Iraq, a police source said on Wednesday.

Six people were arrested in the suburb of the southern town Toulouse early on Wednesday morning. Several of them had arrived in France on Tuesday night from Syria, the source said.

Two other people were arrested in southwestern France and three in a Paris suburb.

The operation was organised by the anti-terrorist section of France's judicial police.

An apple lies on the ground as a UN peacekeeper stands guard at the Kuneitra border crossing between Israel and Syria February 26, 2007. More than 10,000 tons of apples grown by farmers in the Golan Heights will be ferried across the border to Syria and marketed there. The Golan Heights were captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East War.
