A woman in the southern city of Marseille suffered severe burns when vandals set fire to a bus she was traveling on, a police source said on Saturday.

The attack occurred as France marked the first anniversary of riots that scarred the country's poor suburbs, inhabited largely by immigrants.

Vandals have set at least six buses on fire in suburbs around Paris this week in an upsurge of violence ahead of the anniversary, but there have been no injuries.

The police source said an unknown number of people forced their way on to the bus in Marseille at about 9.00 p.m. (1900 GMT) and set fire to it before a 26-year-old woman could escape.

"The woman's life is in danger," the source said.

Three other people needed treatment for smoke inhalation.

After several attacks on security forces in French suburbs in recent weeks, police warned there was a danger that violence might again get out of control as last year.

French Fried Bus.

[The_Reader_David]

I was going to object that they were Moors or Sarecens, not Vandals.

[operation clinton cleanup]

I guess we should assume they were some bus hating cult.

Multi-culturalism will get you killed.

All of France is going to require treatment of 1 kind of another if Islamic Fascists continue to be referred to as vandals.

There, all better. That should cut through the nonsense.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Yeah. And Iranian students were behind the Iranian hostage crisis of the '70s during the Carter administration.

This is a typical tactic of the islamics. Blame terrorism and unrest on disaffected youths, not the imams,terrorist organizations, and governments that are actually pulling the strings. You have to attack all three or terrorism wins. That's why the war on terrorism is stalling.

When France turns over their government to Sharia law all this will stop.

[italianquaker]

that darn amish again

[MistrX]

We are as stupid as the French in that we refuse to recognize the threat posed by Islamo-fascists.

[Egon]

Vandals?

So, if a bunch of people run out in the middle of the street and flip your car over when you're waiting for a light, they'd be referred to as jay-walkers?

[Lurker]

do we have start betting pool how long before the French surrender

Too late. They already have.

Bellicosity excused...not that it needs one.

[SauronOfMordor]

The French have two choices: drop the hammer on them right now, or surrender

[doc1019]

Actually, I would suggest another change “fifth” to “filth”.

I got a laugh last year when it got down to 100 cars a night being torched - the French police were relieved because it was back to normal.
