HeadlineNov 07, 2005

In France unrest escalated around the country this weekend as youths continued rioting for an eleventh straight night. On Sunday, rioters opened fire on police in a working-class suburb of Paris, wounding ten officers. By Sunday, 3,300 cars had been destroyed throughout the country, along with dozens of public buildings and private businesses. More than 300 people have been detained. Earlier today police announced the first fatality since the unrest began — a man died after being beaten while trying to extinguish a trash can fire. We’ll go to Paris for a report in a few minutes.
