PARIS (Reuters) - Around a hundred youths clashed with police during the
night 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 at about
2030 GMT 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 burned.
There were also incidents in the neighboring 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.
Some 9,000 cars and several schools were set ablaze and the government was
forced to use emergency powers to quell the unrest that was the worst France
had seen in nearly 40 years.
The rioters, many of whom where of African or Arab in origin, complained of
discrimination, high unemployment and lack of opportunities.
