Woman burned in France bus attack

A woman has been seriously burned and three others are suffering from smoke inhalation after youths set fire to a bus in the French city of Marseille. A group of teenagers reportedly forced open the doors of the vehicle and threw flammable liquid inside before fleeing.

There have been several attacks on buses over the past week, coinciding with the one year anniversary of riots in poor suburbs across the country.

The riots were sparked by the deaths of two teenagers in the capital, Paris.

Minor skirmishes were reported in Paris on Saturday. An additional 4,000 officers had been deployed - six were injured and 47 people were arrested, according to the interior ministry.

At least six buses have been set on fire in suburbs around the capital this week in an upsurge of violence ahead of the anniversary of the riots.

'Calm and dignity'

Earlier, about 500 people marched in memory of two teenage boys, both from immigrant families, who died in 2005.

Their deaths and the suggestion they had been running from police triggered three weeks of suburban clashes. During the violence last year - between youths of mainly North African origin and police - more than 10,000 cars were set ablaze and 300 buildings firebombed.

The families of the two dead youths, Bouna Traore and Zyed Benna, laid wreaths at the electricity sub-station where they were electrocuted.

A monument to the boys was unveiled and the local mayor appealed for calm.

"Once again France, and even the world, is watching us and waiting to see what we do. So I appeal solemnly for calm and dignity to prevail here," said mayor Claude Dillain, quoted by the Associated Press.

But others have warned that the factors which played a key part in the riots - high unemployment, discrimination and youth alienation from mainstream society - remain unchanged.

An average of 112 cars a day have been torched across France so far this year and there have been 15 attacks a day on police and emergency services.

Nearly 3,000 police officers have been injured in clashes this year.

Still no "M" word, but the "North African origin" of these gentle souls has moved all the way up to Paragraph 8. Normally in these stories it's at least 10-15 paragraphs down.

Utes did not set fire to these busses. It was damn Muslims. I am sick and tired of Utes getting blamed for this kind of criminal activity. Utes are a peaceful tribe who've generally gotten along well with our white brothers.

BBC...They were MUSLIM YOUTH. Why are they so afraid to call them what they are?
They don't want to acculturate into French culture.
And sooner or later people will be killed.

What these little bastards did is nothing short of attempted murder.The police should put 2 officers armed with submachine guns on every bus,with shoot to kill orders for anyone seen with an incendiary device.

Bull Shit.
These bastards aren't ready for inclusion into "mainstream society"....they belong ONLY in their Islamic Turd World homelands..

Muslims riot, rape, burn and pillage because they're freaking lunatics..
Most folks LEAVE where they feel no chance of success, but these bastards stay put sucking on the public tit while throwing firebombs at their benefactors.
Real gratitude...

One doesn't get a job by burning a bus...
In a sane world - behavior like theirs should get their lunatic asses shot.

Semper Fi

Is it the same two who were killed last year when the electrical building they hid in fried them, leading to the massive attacks on cars last year?

Crazy people.

Yes. I don't see the word "muslim" mentioned as a contributing factor:

"But others have warned that the factors which played a key part in the riots - high unemployment, discrimination and youth alienation from mainstream society - remain unchanged."

Euphemisms won't stop the sword of the islamic beasts.

I've read that the french have gone so far as to install pools and build "beaches" in their neighborhoods so the islamderthals wouldn't feel left out of the traditional french vacations.

"On the night of September 11 Muslim youths in northern England rampaged through the streets cheering Islam's glorious victory over the Great Satan. They pounded on the hoods . . . of the cars, hammered the doors, and demanded the drivers join them in their chants of 'Osama bin Laden is a great man.'

"Try that in Texas and the guy will reach into his glove box and blow your head off . . . . The bullying, intimidating side of Muslim immigration in Europe seems to be largely absent in America, in part at least because the assertiveness of American citizens makes it a riskier undertaking."

-Mark Steyn, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, p. 46.
