VERSAILLES, France, Oct 2, 2006 (AFP) - Seven French police officers were hurt during clashes with scores of youths that broke out after a car chase in Les Mureaux, in the western Paris suburbs, justice officials said Monday.
The incident late Sunday followed the arrest of man who drove his car into a police vehicle after being chased for a traffic offence. As the man was being taken to the police station in another vehicle, it was set upon by a crowd.
"There were around 250 people -- very angry and very hostile," police officials said. The prosecutor's office said the number was around 130.
Some of the police were hurt when a stone hurled into their car detonated a tear-gas grenade. One of the police cars was gutted by fire. There were no arrests.
On Wednesday seven youths suspected of the September 19 beating of two riot police officers in Corbeil-Essonnes south of Paris were arrested during a raid on a housing project. Both officers suffered injuries to the face and head and bruising to the body. One was hospitalized.
The attacks underscored continuing concern over violence in Paris's depressed suburbs, where riots broke out nearly a year ago.
In a letter sent to French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy last June, a senior government official warned of a sharp spike in crime and the active incitement of Islamic radicals in the northern suburbs.
Another campaign ad for Sarkozy, compliments of MUSLIM "youths", ages 10-40.
damned youths. they must be stopped.
"...scores of youths..."
Shouldn't the article really have said "...scores of Muslim youths..."?
That would have been more accurate.
French "youths" again, huh? Huguenots, I bet!
In a letter sent to French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy last June, a senior government official warned of a sharp spike in crime and the active incitement of Islamic radicals in the northern suburbs.
There's that word again!
Seven French police officers were hurt during clashes with scores of ISLAMIC youths.
It took until the last line of the article, but at least the frogs are fessing up about the "I" word. Denying the influence of the Islamists in this will only serve to allow it to spread. Islam is on the march in Europe, the Philippines, Thailand, South America, Nigeria, Somalia, etc. Will we be willing to at least call the enemy what they are when and if this kind of nonsense comes here?
It largely depends who controls Congress and the White House IMHO
Where are all the "moderate muslims" ?
On their prayer rugs beseeching Allah for peace?
Fat chance,the only moderate muslims are just too chicken
to do what their political religion advocates.
If the French police continue to show weakness, they will get much, much more of the same. The time will come when it's time to put down the tear gas and bean bags and load up on bullets. I wonder, what will happen when that time comes?
Send in the crack team of French philosophers. That'll show em...
If they turn loose the CRS those "youths" will wish they'd stayed home.
Paris is a quagmire! They need to pull out now!
The muslim attitude is that they are above European law, and the Euros are letting them get away with it.
Soon no matter what crime a muzzie commits, he will be able to walk away arrogantly after spitting in the faces of cops, since they will be too afraid of mob violence to arrest him.
muzzies will always stand together to oppose the infidel, no matter what - kind of like black Americans during the OJ trial.
Friday evening, near Dijon (300 km south-east from Paris) several cars have been torched. The inhabitants are fed-up. And the firemen have been stoned.
Les sapeurs-pompiers « caillassés » aux Grésilles
Time for the frenchmen to get their vigillantes together, again.
The French Underground Resistance may as well be started up again, their government has waved the white flag once again.
