| French police, youths clash in Paris suburb | |
| 2006-10-22 | |
French police and youths clashed in a Paris suburb on Sunday as tensions mounted ahead of the anniversary of riots last year that shocked the country and provoked renewed debate about the integration of immigrants.A police spokesman said 30 to 50 individuals were involved in the clashes in Grigny south of Paris that started after youths set several cars on fire and torched a bus after ordering its passengers off.
In a statement, the Action Police CFTC police union urged the government to deploy "a visible and large number" of riot police to discourage youths from constantly attacking patrols. In recent days police patrols in a number of towns across the country have been attacked by petrol bombs. "This latest clash marks the progressive start of a repeat of the riots of November 2005," the statement said, referring to the incident in Grigny. | |
