CLICHY-SOUS-BOIS, France - Marauding youths torched hundreds of vehicles overnight and on Saturday in renewed violence coinciding with the first anniversary of riots that exposed a deep schism between poor North African immigrants and mainstream France.
A group of teenagers set one bus on fire Saturday in the southern French port city of Marseille, seriously wounding a passenger. Three others suffered from smoke inhalation, police said. Two other public buses and 277 vehicles around the country were burned overnight, police said.
Six police were injured and 47 people were arrested, ministry officials said. Still the Interior Ministry described the night as "relative calm," noting that up to 100 cars are torched by youths in troubled neighborhoods on an average night.
Police had braced for a bigger replay of violence in the poor suburbs predominantly made up of Muslims from former French colonies in Africa. Friday marked the one-year anniversary of the deaths of two teens that ignited three weeks of riots in 2005.
The rioting was fueled by anger at France's failure to offer equal opportunities to many minorities — especially Arabs and blacks — and France's 5 million-strong Muslim population.
France's trouble integrating minorities and the suburban unrest are becoming hot political issues in the campaign for next year's presidential and parliamentary elections. The government passed an equal opportunities law this spring and has poured funds into "sensitive" areas, but disenchantment is still pervasive.
The latest unrest centered on the troubled suburbs that ring Paris. Half the cars burned nationwide overnight were torched in the region around the capital. Of the 47 arrests, 33 people were taken into custody in the Paris suburbs, mostly for throwing projectiles, burning cars or generally vandalizing property, police said.
The national police said about 4,000 extra police and riot officers were deployed across the country to cope with a possible resurgence of violence. Some 7,000 police are at the ready on an average night in France, officials have said.
The bus attacks late Friday were not far from the site where the two teens were electrocuted in a power substation in Paris suburb Clichy-sous-Bois on Oct. 27, 2005. The two were hiding after what they thought was a police chase.
One bus was engulfed in flames at the foot of a high-rise housing project.
"Four guys attacked Bus 346," said witness Thierry Ange, 19. "They made everyone get off, then they hit a woman and dragged out the bus driver by his tie," then torched the bus with a gasoline bomb in a bottle, he said.
The blackened remains of another bus burned earlier stood across town. Two armed men had forced passengers off the bus, police said.
Youths also tried to burn a bus in Reims in eastern France, and attackers hurled metal balls at an empty bus in Trappes, west of Paris, the Interior Ministry said.
Scores of police, wielding shields and backed by a helicopter shining its searchlight, swept into a tough housing project in Montfermeil, a town near Clichy-sous-Bois, and several youths responded by throwing stones.
Paris' transport authority responded to the violence by curtailing bus services in the Seine-Saint-Denis region north of the capital, which is home to thousands of immigrants and their French-born children.

The jerk probably thinks there are degrees of pregnancy too.
Everyone spelling yuts, yutes, yoots, etc. It's tiresome.
No, Child. If nutcases start torching 300+ cars every night in the U.S., the adults will put an abrupt stop to such nonsense.
So rest easy back there in your mom's closet. You'll be safe.
Not since we swept the nation with shoot-first castle laws over the past 3 years. You should read about them sometime. They're fascinating.
So are those that spend their time “nitpicking”. But I completely understand your irksome penchant and hope you, at some point, overcome your obvious non-proclivity for variants in the use of the English language.
You sarcasm is insulting.
Further you make unfounded assumptions, and your statements are inaccurate.
Do your homework.
"Where do these jerks come from?"
Got it. I'll explain to the yootes.
Don't be forgetting that the MSM is also thoroughly dishonest in the way it presents American people to the world.
They are doing their country no favors.
And they will be relentlessly pursued and prosecuted for hate crimes, count on it.
So with your experience with French culture, what do you think they will do?
Is it that time of year already??
C'mon, get with the program. Right after the holy month of Ramadan, it is the "Burning of the Citroen's and Peugeot's" to purify and sanctify the souls of the infidel. Sheesh
I knew I should have payed more attention in college during my "World Religion" class....
How about explaining “it” to the yoooooooots.
All they have to do is say "Marauding MUSLIM Youths". But they are so afraid to write it.
The reward for the arsonists who started the recent So Cal fire that killed 4 fireman is now up to $500,000 . And these thugs better hope that the police catch em first. John Q. Public would just as soon burn em at the stake. Remember when they found the night stalker (Richard Ramirez) in a Latino Neighborhood in Los Angeles many years ago. He was getting the crap beat out of em.
And their country is not watching them anymore. Only adds they have now are for products targeting the geriatric crowd. The rest of us are surfing the web.
Oh the horrors.
These French obviously are torturing their own citizens, and should immediately be remanded to the UNITED NATIONS for disiplinary action.
During MY lifetime, it was ever thus.
Somehow I don't think so.
Remember last year in France when two (2) Islamo-thugs were shot while vandalizing.
The entire Islamo-thug community went on a week-long rampage.
My advice: Shoot A LOT of them, and deport the rest.
THEN it will stop.
