France Moves to Outlaw Burka Citing "Equality" -John Lichfield
Jean-Francois Cope, the parliamentary leader of the ruling French party, is to put forward a draft law to ban the full-body veil from French streets and all other public places.
Cope told Le Figaro that he would bring forward a law which would impose fines on anyone appearing in public "with their face entirely masked." Stiffer punishments would be laid down for men who "forced" their wives or daughters to wear full-body veils.

UPDATE:
Burka-Wearing Gunmen Raid French Bank - Henry Samuel
Two burka-wearing bank robbers have pulled off a heist near Paris using a handgun concealed beneath their full Islamic veil. Employees let the pair through the security double doors of the banking branch, believing them to be Muslim women. France is looking into ways of restricting - or banning - the use of the head-to-toe Islamic veil.
