New Car-B-Qs in Paris
 Around a hundred youths clashed with French police overnight after setting fire to cars and rubbish bins in a Paris suburb that was the scene of violent riots last November, a local official said on Tuesday.Seven police officers were slightly injured and six youths were arrested in a neighbourhood of Seine-Saint-Denis in confrontations that started around 20:30 on Monday evening, according to a security official from the suburb to the north of the French capital. The youths began burning cars in reaction to a police operation in which a young man was arrested several hours earlier. Officials said they did not yet know how many cars had been burnt. There were also incidents in the neighbouring area of Clichy-Sous-Bois, where last year's riots began after two youngsters died while they were apparently fleeing police. In the three weeks of rioting that followed around France, youths clashed with police in poor suburbs which are home to large immigrant populations. Posted by: tipper 2006-05-30 |
