The riots were sparked a week ago by the accidental electrocution of two teenagers who had hidden in an electrical sub-station to escape a police identity check in the suburb at the epicentre of the troubles, Clichy-sous-Bois.

That's something I hadn't heard before. I had heard that they were killed when the police chased them, but not that they had hidden in an electrical substation. I guess the Koran didn't warn them not to touch the big wires.

As near as I can tell, cac-40 (french dj) is up about 2% since the riots started.
