French agency warns of further rioting
Le Figaro newspaper published the secret document the day after a mob of youths set a bus ablaze in broad daylight on the outskirts of Paris, and stoned police and firemen trying to put the flames out.
Bus drivers refused yesterday to take to the streets of the Grigny suburb, to the south of Paris, to protest against the assault, which shocked even hardened police. It was at least the fifth time in recent weeks that French youths have launched an apparently concerted attack on the security forces and the symbols of the French state.
