Oh this . . .

Au coeur même de Paris, quatre voitures ont été visées samedi soir par au moins un engin incendiaire, rue Dupuis, dans le 3ème arrondissement, près de la place de la République, a constaté un journaliste de l'AFP.

I don't understand French, so I missed it. But I kind of see it in there now . . .

Tonight's "casualty count" of destroyed cars has reached 546, and is expected to significantly rise by time the sun rises...

Have the French ever heard of guns? This is astonishing! Also, for the first time, the rioting has reached downtown Paris and the affluent areas.

He is saying that the riots are spreading to the heart of Paris (downtown) and there are cars burning there.
