## More arrests in French rioting

Nov. 6, 2005 at 9:40AM

Riots in France spread to more cities, including Paris, after a 10th straight night of arson, protest and arrests.
The BBC reports 1,295 vehicles have been burned and 312 people arrested since the rioting began in the suburbs of Paris. Violence spread to outlying cities like Strasbourg, Nice, Toulouse and Nantes and Saturday night made its way into central Paris, where 28 vehicles were burned.
The riots were triggered by protests after two teenagers were electrocuted at a sub-station in the suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois. Witnesses said they were running from police. An investigation is ongoing.
Many protestors say police have been involved in oppressive measures and racial profiling, making the situation worse.
The French government response has been two-fold.
Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy warned of harsh sentences for violent protestors, people he termed as "scum" this past week.
Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has been holding meetings with local youth as well as community leaders.
The head of the Paris mosque, Dalil Boubakeur, emerged from the meeting calling for a change of the government's tone into a message of peace.
