WHAT'S FRENCH FOR "HELL BREAKING LOOSE?"

By malkin

I'll keep updating the "Paris Unrest" post below, but this story deserved a stand-alone post (via LGF and Sky News):

Disabled Woman Set Ablaze Updated: 12:36, Friday November 04, 2005

A handicapped woman was doused with petrol and set on fire by youths during another night of rioting in Paris.

The 56-year-old suffered third degree burns to 20% of her body in the attack.

Witnesses said a youth poured petrol over the woman and then threw a Molotov cocktail on to the bus she was travelling on in the suburb of Sevran.

Other passengers were able to flee but she was unable to escape because of her disabilities.

It was the worst incident so far in more than a week of rioting.

For the first time, there were also signs of copycat rampages elsewhere in France.
