French police blame 'urban guerrillas' for riots By Henry Samuel in Villiers-le-Bel Last Updated: 2:12am GMT 28/11/2007 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/core/Content/displayPrintable.jhtml;jsessionid=0N Z4BREK0QIGFQFIQMGSFFWAVCBQWIV0?xml=/news/2007/11/28/wriots128.xml <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/core/Content/displayPrintable.jhtml;jsessionid=0 NZ4BREK0QIGFQFIQMGSFFWAVCBQWIV0?xml=/news/2007/11/28/wriots128.xml&site=5&pa ge=0> &site=5&page=0 French police have warned that they are dealing with "urban guerrillas" with guns as rioting which began in suburbs north of Paris spread to other parts of the country. <javascript:newWindow('http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1137942 530/bclid1155254697/bctid1325114159','Brightcove','menubar=no,width=924,heig ht=710,scrollbars=no')> French police blame 'urban guerrillas' for riots Violence <javascript:newWindow('http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1137942 530/bclid1155254697/bctid1325114159','Brightcove','menubar=no,width=924,heig ht=710,scrollbars=no')> spread from Villiers-le-Bel into several surrounding areas Fears voiced by local mayors that violence could erupt elsewhere were realised as unrest hit the southern town of Toulouse ahead of a third night of riots. A fire broke out at a library in the Reynerie neighbourhood and about a dozen cars were burned in response to the deaths of two teenagers in Paris following a crash with a police car. A police unit was deployed to the area and nearby Bagatelle, where cars were set on fire earlier in the evening, and appeared to restore order. Meanwhile, officers in Paris braced themselves for more chaos. "We were out there last night, and we'll be out there again tonight," said one 19-year-old in the Ceriseraie housing estate in the suburban town of Villiers-le-Bel, 12 miles north of Paris. He was one of hundreds who have attacked police with stones, petrol bombs and in some cases guns, over the past two nights. The violence spread to five nearby areas on Monday night. This happened in 2005 when France was hit by three weeks of nightly riots in poor suburbs around the country in the worst unrest in 40 years. Michele Alliot-Marie, the interior minister, denied that a repeat of the 2005 riots was on the cards. More than a hundred policemen have been injured since Sunday, six seriously. One was hit in the shoulder by a bullet from a hunting rifle that sliced through his flak jacket. Patrice Ribeiro, of the Synergie police union, said "genuine urban guerrillas with conventional weapons and hunting weapons" were among the rioters. "Our colleagues will not allow themselves to be fired upon indefinitely without responding," he said. "We are coming close to a catastrophe with the use of firearms," said UNSA, another police union. President Nicolas Sarkozy is to hold a meeting with François Fillon, the prime minister, tomorrow, along with his interior, justice and town ministers.

Mr Fillon promised to beef up security and to punish offenders. "Those who fire on the police and who beat a police officer nearly to death, are criminals and must be treated like criminals," he said. In the centre of Villiers-le-Bel today, a group of heavily armed police guarded the town hall. "This is far worse than 2005," said Christophe, a 30-year-old anti-riot policeman, who stood in full battle dress, including bullet-proof vest and tear-gas canisters. "Last time they wanted to burn cars and buildings. Now they are after us," he said. Youths were well organised, with small, mobile groups running rings around the police, said Christophe. "Last night we went into an estate to stop a fire from a car spreading to a building and were quickly surrounded. "We literally couldn't get out until reinforcements arrived," he said. Map of Paris and suburbs <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/graphics/2007/11/28/wriots128.gif> Several hundred locals went on a silent march in memory of the two teenagers, Moushn, 15, and Larami, 16, who died. Preliminary findings by a police oversight agency found that the pair, who were not wearing helmets and were riding a bike not registered for use on the road, had failed to respect the police car's right of way. But many residents disputed this and also claimed that the officers left the scene without helping the teenagers. However, investigators said that police had stayed with the youths until the emergency services arrived. Florian, 22, a patissier, said that the two boys had been stopped by police an hour earlier and had been told "if we catch you on the bike again, we'll knock you off it". Six Socialist mayors, including the mayor of Villiers-le-Bel, launched an appeal for calm, asking for parents to keep their children indoors after dark. But they gave warning that the violence could spread. Forty per cent of Villiers-le-Bel's population of 27,000 are under 25 and 40 per cent of them are unemployed.
