Muslims accused of attacking French police

Muslims accused of attacking French police PARIS, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- French police say radical Muslims of North Africa origin, living in poor housing estates, are targeting officers in what they call an "intifada" campaign.

Such attacks are injuring an average of 14 officers every day, reports Britain's Daily Telegraph. France's Interior Ministry said about 2,500 officers have been targeted this year.

One police union was quoted as saying there exists a state of civil war waged by unemployed youths living in the densely populated low-income housing projects. The union is asking the government to provide its officers with armored cars.

The head of another police union disagreed with the intifada assessment, saying the growing violence against officers is proof that the policy of "retaking territory" from criminal gangs is working, the report said.
