Paris: 12 arrests in fifth night of unrest

Police made 12 arrests and an officer was slightly injured in a fifth night of unrest in a Paris suburb where cars and rubbish were again set alight.

French law-and-order Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy also faced mounting criticism for his handling of the rioting in the north-eastern Paris suburb of Clichy-Sous-Bois, triggered by the deaths on Thursday of two teenagers, aged 15 and 17, accidentally electrocuted as they hid from police in a power substation.
