Gang of youths set fire to bus in Paris suburb
2006-10-26
A group of youths, some wearing hoods, forced passengers off of a public bus in a western Paris suburb on Wednesday night and then set it alight, authorities said. No one was hurt in the incident, the second bus attack this week.

Police said that about a dozen youths were involved in the assault. No arrests have yet been made.
The attack in the suburb of Nanterre came as France prepares to mark on Friday the one-year anniversary of riots last year by suburban youth, and raised the specter of a repeat of the three weeks of violence. "A certain number of hooded individuals got on" the bus around 10:00 p.m. local time and "threw a bottle of flammable liquid," the Hauts-de-Seine region said. "Luckily, there were fewer than ten people on the bus," and "the people had the time to get off" the burning bus.

Police said that about a dozen youths were involved in the assault. No arrests have yet been made. In a similar incident last Sunday, a band of youths forced passengers out of a bus in a southern Paris suburb in broad daylight, set it afire, then stoned firefighters who came to the rescue.

#2  If you want to know of what police are doing about this crap, be aware that they are being held back. Eurabia means: turning Europe into a jihad play pen.
