CNN is covering it...but I haven't seen it anywhere else. Haven't really checked around though.
I notice the BBC is trying to downplay the Muslim "coincidence" much like CNN has been doing. deVillipin's quotes early in the article don't even make sense unless one reads on and infers that he is speaking of a "minority" of Muslim youth. It wouldn't suit the MSM to point out that Muslims are rioting in France - that would leave too many liberal/anti-war activists dumbfounded.

PARIS, France (AP) -- Unrest spread across troubled suburbs around Paris in a sixth night of violence as police clashed with angry youths and scores of vehicles were torched in at least nine towns, local officials said.
(...)The area, home mainly to families of immigrant origin, often from Muslim North Africa, is marked by soaring unemployment and delinquency. Anger and despair thrive in the tall cinder-block towers and long "bars" that typically make up housing projects in France.
The BBC just reported that tonight a police station was briefly taken over, a car showroom was set on fire, two schools were damaged, and police vans were stoned, had gasoline thrown at them and had to retreat.
