Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Last Updated: Monday, 7 November 2005, 08:48 GMT French violence hits fresh peak Police say they were ambushed by a mob A night of rioting in France has left 1,408 vehicles burnt out and resulted in 395 arrests - the highest tolls yet in 11 nights of unrest. Ten policemen were injured by shots and stones when they confronted 200 rioters in the Paris suburb of Grigny, with two policemen seriously hurt. President Jacques Chirac has said restoring order is his top priority. Muslim leaders of African and Arab communities have also issued a fatwa, or religious order, against the riots. " It is strictly forbidden for any Muslim... to take part in any action that strikes blindly at private or public property or that could threaten the lives of others, " the fatwa by the Union of Islamic Organisations in France said. Hundreds of cars were set on fire in different towns on Sunday night, and police had to use tear gas to disperse a club-wielding mob in Toulouse. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4413250.stm Dear List Members, Dasha: Sa/Mo/Ve/Ju/Ju.
