Urban warfare in Paris suburbs

The appropriate term is actually riots but after 6 nights of violence, the suburbs North of Paris are really starting to look like the ground floor of a guerilla... 69 cars destroyed yesterday only, cocktail molotovs thrown by group of youth to the CRS (anti-riot police). The mess started when 2 teenagers were electrocuted 5 days ago in an apparent attempt to escape police. Sarkozy is under intense pressure to restore peace but is being highly criticized for the words he used when refering to band of youth creating problems in the suburbs and his declaration of "war without mercy" on crime in the suburbs.
