Police Sweep Paris Suburb After Attack

Tuesday September 26, 2006 4:01 AM

PARIS (AP) - More than 200 police raided a neighborhood Monday in suburban Paris where a band of youths attacked riot police last week and seriously wounded one officer, reviving memories of the violence that raged in poor French suburbs last year.

Twelve people were detained in the early morning sweep in Corbeil-Essonnes south of the capital, the local prosecutor said.

A band of up to 30 youths armed with makeshift weapons attacked two riot police patrolling a housing project in Corbeil-Essonnes last Tuesday. One suffered a double skull fracture.

At the time, police were called in to disperse the youths but no arrests were made. Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy vowed to track the perpetrators down ``one by one.''

French authorities have kept a watchful eye on the low-income housing projects in suburbs nationwide where riots by youth, many unemployed and from immigrant backgrounds, erupted nearly a year ago and continued for three weeks.

Two hundred against thirty, I guess that “proportional response” stuff is only for Israelis fighting for their lives while protecting their country.

Fromage mangeant l'aweep de police de reddition après des émeutes, par un dieu !

Former Socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin welcomed the police raid but criticized Sarkozy - a leading presidential hopeful - for ``playing on the legitimate emotions'' of worried residents after the attack by accusing judges of being too soft on criminal youth.

Ya think? The French are such an entertainment value.

Hope this guy is for real. Or as real as a Frenchman gets anyway.

This must be the original incident.

Youths beat up two police patrolling Paris suburb

Good thing that the phrase "muslim youths" doesn't appear anywhere in the article- that might cause riots.

[metmom]

Reruns? Wasn't it this time last year they had those riots?

[Sender]

Gee, youths in low-income housing projects from immigrant backgrounds. Must be those darned Koreans again! Ya think?

[LikeLight]

If you remember the special code words in the French press, "youths" refers to muslim thugs of almost any age (for example, we saw photos of balding youths). And "students" refers to elite white French college students. Some of the most interesting things happened when the youths encountered the students...
