ARTICLE SNIPPET: "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."

"Late Passenger Pleads to Airport Threat"
The Associated Press
ARTICLE SNIPPT: "A Florida college student pleaded guilty to calling in a phony bomb threat to the Long Beach Airport after he arrived too late to board his plane.
In his plea deal, Yechezkel Wells admitted he made the call to try to keep the plane from leaving. He told investigators he was upset that he wasn't allowed to board the plane and hoped the threat would cause a delay so he might have a chance to get on, authorities said.
Wells was arrested Aug. 26 shortly after he called 911 from a pay phone and said there was a bomb on a JetBlue flight to Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The 21-year-old, who holds dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship, pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court to a felony count of conveying false information of a threat targeting an airplane.
He faces from probation to five years in prison at sentencing Jan. 29."

"Commuters burnt alive in surge of Sudan massacres"
Katharine Houreld, Garbo, Sudan
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A SERIES of massacres in the south of Sudan over the past two weeks has left at least 58 civilians dead, exposing the impotence of the region’s United Nations peacekeeping mandate.
Families have been attacked in their homes and commuters burnt alive in their vehicles, some close to the main UN base in the city of Juba. In one incident a bus packed with villagers, including women and children, was set alight. No one is sure who is behind the upsurge in violence. They could have been carried out by any one of countless proxy militias formed in the south of the country during 20 years of civil war. Although the war ended two years ago, many militias remain armed.
The mountains and forests make it difficult to track armed groups and the south is awash with guns.
In the village of Garbo, five people were shot in the latest attack on Thursday night. As the dead were laid to rest the following morning, screams from distraught mothers and children mingled with that of shovels. Nearby, a toddler sat stunned in a pool of bloodied water until a policeman came to lead her gently away."
