Riviera cities impose curfews to counter riots
Looters and vandals defied a state of emergency with attacks on superstores, a newspaper warehouse and a subway station. Arson attacks continued after sunset, with a nursery school going up in flames in Toulouse.
The unrest began on October 27 and has become a nationwide insurrection by suburban youths who complain of discrimination and unemployment. Although many of the youths are Muslim, police say the violence is not driven by Islamic groups.
