## 204 arrested overnight in French unrest

Nov. 9, 2005 at 8:12AM

The level of rioting throughout France decreased after 13 nights, but 617 cars were set on fire and 204 people arrested, police said Wednesday.
Around 116 towns were affected, about half as many as the night earlier, Sky News reported.
Stores were burned and looted, a newspaper office set on fire and France's second-largest subway system in Lyons was paralyzed by a firebomb in attacks across the country.
The offices of the Nice-Matin newspaper, in the southeastern town of Grasse, were set alight.
A decree issued Wednesday by the national government gave local authorities and police emergency powers to deal with rioters from the English Channel to the Mediterranean, including Paris suburbs, the BBC said.
French courts face a backlog of people arrested in the past two weeks. Only 106 of the 1,500 detained have been given jail sentences.
The rioting was set off by the deaths of two North African teenagers electrocuted in a sub-station as they hid from police.
