More unidentified "youths" wreaking havoc in a preview of things to come.

SEVEN POLICE HURT IN RIOTS BY YOUTHS NEAR PARIS

VERSAILLES October 2, 2006 (AFP) - Seven French police officers were hurt during clashes with scores of youths that broke out after a car chase in Les Mureaux, in the western Paris outskirts, justice officials said Monday.

... "There were around 250 people — very angry and very hostile," police officials said. The prosecutor's office said the number was around 130.

Some of the police were hurt when a stone hurled into their car detonated a tear-gas grenade. One of the police cars was gutted by fire.

There were no arrests.

In a disturbing development, the "youths" brazenly huddle up in larger numbers than last fall. And they are engaging the police in numbers, not hit-and-run sorties by small groups.
