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.
A police spokesman said 30 to 50 individuals were involved in the clashes in Grigny south of Paris that started after youths set several cars on fire and torching a bus after ordering its passengers off.
"There are still some sporadic incidents, mostly stone throwing," he said.
In a statement, the Action Police CFTC police union urged the government to deploy "a visible and large number" of riot police to discourage youths from constantly attacking patrols.
In recent days police patrols in a number of towns across the country have been attacked by petrol bombs.
"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.

"Youths." Does Reuters refer to bums as "outdoorsmen"?

The Indians and the Chinese are rioting again, since Western racism is so pervasive. Immigrants are simply suffering in socialist France, where they get free housing, healthcare, education, retirement, 30-hour workweeks, 2 month vacations, and generous unemployment benefits.
Who are these liberal boneheads kidding?
When ****Muslims**** are destroying stuff in the streets chanting Allah is Greatest! -- it is clear religious fundamentalism is what is motivating people. And it isn't racism to point this out, since Muslims come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.

Tuesday is Eid al-Fitr, a Muslim holy day. The "yutes" are just celebrating in advance.
