Police Find Bomb-Making Factory in Paris
PARIS (AP) - Ten nights of urban unrest that brought thousands of arson attacks on cars, nursery schools and other targets from the Mediterranean to the German border reached Paris where at least 28 cars were burned overnight in the French capital, government officials said Sunday. Police found a gasoline bomb-making factory in a southern suburb of the city, with more than 100 bottles, gallons of fuel and hoods for hiding rioters' faces, a senior Justice Ministry official said Sunday.
Six youths, all aged under 18, were arrested in the raid Saturday night on a building in Evry south of Paris where the gasoline bombs were being put together, Jean-Marie Huet, the ministry's director of criminal affairs and pardons, told The Associated Press.
Denmark (***) youth riots ignored while Paris is burning
"Nothing of it has penetrated to the English-language sections of Danish media," laments the Viking Observer. The Observer took the trouble to translate into English the following from Danish Jyllands-Posten:"Rosenhoj Mall has several nights in a row been the scene of the worst riots in Århus for years."This area belongs to us," the youths proclaim. Sunday evening saw a new arson attack.
"Their words sound like a clear declaration of war on the Danish society. Police must stay out. The area belongs to immigrants.
"Four youths sit on a wall in Rosenhoj Mall Sunday afternoon, calling themselves spokesmen for the groups, that three nights in a row have ravaged and tried to burn down the restaurant and other stores.
"Around the parking lot, cars with youngsters from the immigrant community are swarming, and many are walking around, greeting each other with a sense of victory after the worst riots in Århus for years.
"Every night 30-40 youths took part, especially immigrants.
I hope that this is not as bad as it sounds. What are the thoughts of CPFer's that live in those areas?
