Nine youths are being held by French police following a third night of unrest in a Paris suburb.
A spokesman for the local authority in Clichy-sous-Bois said the youths had been throwing missiles and petrol bombs, and 15 cars were set on fire.
Three hundred police officers in mobile units are on patrol in the town, which has a large immigrant population.
The violence began on Thursday after the deaths of two local teenagers said to have been fleeing police.
The authorities deny that officers were chasing the boys, who were electrocuted after entering an electricity sub-station.

Down with Gallic imperialism. France out of Paris NOW!!
Muslim?
Since we are dealing with "French security", I am sure more police got hurt than rioters.
Led by the Reverend Jesse Jackson, right?
(sarcasm)
"The violence on Saturday night was significantly less than on the two preceding nights, police said."
See the tensions are lessening due to understanding and compassion of the French people to this tragic accident by young boys.
Now imagine if this happened in America -- CNN, MSN total coverage 24/7 -- Bush's fault -- blame Cheney!
Religion of Riots and Death Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's all riot!!!
France needs to throw all those trouble making Swedes out now.
Actually Quakers in 1600's to late 1600's were quite radical.
In Jan. 1661, 4,000 Quakers tried to overthrow the civil government in London
in the town, which has a large immigrant population.
Immigrants or barbarians? Both! But the French police probably served them wine and cheese in an exchange for a promise to be good from now on. Burp.
Ha, I bet you are right. Those Norwegians are always out to cause trouble. Isn't it the end of Ramadan? Time to kill for their 'god' (and I use the word loosely).
That is a wild vid
Typical muslim logic from the ROP.
These kids probably didn't realize what electricity was since they probably came from a stone age country. So, it must be the police's fault.
The Muslim problem in Europe is a threat that must be dealt with in a hurry. Alas they don't seem to be ready. I predict that in fifty years the cradle of western civilization and thought will be muslim. It will be a second middle ages and a lot of progress will be wiped out.
Clichy-sous-Bois is predominantly Muslim, of course.
Diversity, its true meaning.
