France in flames
Story in full FRENCH President Jacques Chirac has promised arrest, trials and punishment for those sowing "violence or fear" as an 11th night of urban violence erupted across France last night, with police and rioters clashing south of Paris and in other towns.
Ten riot police were wounded, two seriously, in fighting with 250 to 300 youths in Grigny, south of the capital. Officials believe rioters may have fired with a hunting rifle. Across the country, rioters pelted Molotov cocktails at cars and a school, and firefighters in some areas worked under police escort.
