| Riots Spread to 300 Locations |
| 2005-11-07 |
 Rioting by French youths spread to 300 towns overnight and a man hurt in the violence died of his wounds, the first fatality in 11 days of unrest that has shocked the country, police said Monday. As urban unrest spread to neighboring Belgium and possibly Germany, the French government faced growing criticism for its inability to stop the violence, despite massive police deployment and continued calls for calm. |

| #4 Concerning the "no go zones"(tm), the latest number I heard last week on radio was 1202 for 2005, IIRC. When the police intelligence evaluation of theses areas started, they were about 100 (including 40 "hardore" where police couldn't go in anymore) in 1991, against 800 (160) ten years later. So, you see, from 100 to 800 to 1200, the situation is getting more under control by the year... |

| #3 Up to 800 ghettos as such are told to be in France. So - several more times to go (at least, not including action on neighboring towns close to ghettos) |
