Police and youths clash in Paris suburb

PARIS (Reuters) - French police and youths clashed in a Paris suburb on Sunday as tensions mounted ahead of the anniversary of riots last year that shocked the country and provoked renewed debate about the integration of immigrants.

A police spokesman said 30 to 50 individuals were involved in the clashes in Grigny south of Paris that started after youths set several cars on fire and torching a bus after ordering its passengers off.

"There are still some sporadic incidents, mostly stone throwing," he said.

In a statement, the Action Police CFTC police union urged the government to deploy "a visible and large number" of riot police to discourage youths from constantly attacking patrols.

In recent days police patrols in a number of towns across the country have been attacked by petrol bombs.

"This latest clash marks the progressive start of a repeat of the riots of November 2005," the statement said, referring to the incident in Grigny.

British Watchdog Warns Of Race Riots [over veils]
Post Chronicle ^ | 10/23/2006

LONDON, Oct. 22, 2006 (UPI) -- Britain's race-relations watchdog has warned that violence could erupt over disagreements on whether Muslim women should wear veils in the country.

The Sunday Telegraph reported Trevor Philips, chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality, said that the heated debate has created divisions that could produce riots worse than those in the north of England five years ago.

"All the recent evidence shows that we are, as a society, becoming more socially polarized by race and faith. The only place where this may not be true is in our schools, and the main reason is that in many of our cities things cannot get any worse," Philips wrote in an article for The Sunday Times.

The telegraph reported that Philips wrote the Times article as a call for a "civilized" debate about race.
