France to ban the Burqa , says ruling party chief

French President Nicolas Sarkozy's party, the UMP, says it will push for a law banning the burqa, the full-face Islamic veil, according to its parliamentary leader Jean-François Copé.

French intelligence services have found only 367 women in France wear the all-covering Muslim garments known as the burka and the niqab. Public controversy over the dress has led to a parliamentary committee to discuss how to react to it.
