TRAQUENARD D'AULNAY-SOUS-BOIS:
UNE "RÉACTION" À UNE CONDAMNATION*
[TRAP OF AULNAY-SOUS-BOIS: A REACTION TO A JUDGMENT]

BOBIGNY 21 octobre 2006 (AP) - L'agression dont ont été victimes trois équipages de la police nationale et de la police municipale dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi à Aulnay-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis) est sans doute due à "une réaction à une décision judiciaire", a indiqué samedi François Molins, le procureur de la République de Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis).

... Appelés vendredi vers 1h30 à la suite du déclenchement d'une alarme dans un centre de la Protection maternelle infantile (PMI), deux véhicules de la police municipale escortés d'un véhicule du commissariat se sont retrouvés bloqués par une Mercedes et des barrières dans la cité de la Rose des Vents.

Une bande de personnes encagoulées a alors jeté différents projectiles sur les véhicules forcés de se replier en marche arrière. Dans l'affolement, l'auto de la police municipale, qui ouvrait le convoi, a percuté un plot de béton et s'est retrouvée immobilisée. Les assaillants ont utilisé un fumigène pour faire sortir les policiers secourus par leurs collègues. Une femme appartenant à la police municipale a reçu sur la tête un cocktail molotov.

The attack on three squads of national and municipal police on the night of Thursday to Friday at Aulnay-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis) is undoubtedly due to "a reaction to a court decision", François Molins, the public prosecutor of Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis), said Saturday.

... Called Friday aound 1h30 by an alarm in a center of the Protection maternelle infantile (PMI), two municipal police vehicles escorted by a vehicle of the police station found themselves blocked by a Mercedes and the barriers in the Rose des Vents estate. A hooded gang then threw various projectiles at the vehicles, which were forced to retreat in reverse gear. In the panic, the municipal police car, which headed the convoy, struck a concrete block and was immobilized. The attackers used smoke to expel the police helped by their colleagues. A female municipal police officer was struck on the head by a molotov cocktail.

POLICE AND YOUTHS CLASH NEAR PARIS*

PARIS, October 22, 2006 (Reuters) — The 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 into French society.

A police spokesman said 30 to 50 individuals were involved in the clashes, in Grigny, south of Paris. He said youths had set several cars on fire and had ordered passengers off a bus and set it on fire, leading to the clash with the police. "There are still some sporadic incidents, mostly stone throwing," he said.

In a statement, the police union urged the government to deploy "a visible and large number" of riot police officers to discourage youths from attacking patrols. Recently, patrols in a number of towns across the country have been hit by gasoline bombs. [See here, here, here, here, and here.]

"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.

This latest incident happened at 2:00P in broad daylight. The bus was forced to stop by a roadblock rigged up by the gang. When firemen showed up, the gang stoned them. There has been one arrest

What's going on with zoomerx? A whole page of articles and no comments from him/her? Perhaps the welfare payments were stolen and he can no longer pay for Internet access.

Ah, M. Zmx is in a pout.

He lied about lying (see comments here), was caught out in his lie, denied he lied, and faced with evidence that would not go away apparently he has.

We are sure he would be touched by your worries over his monthlies, Paul.
