"New violence hits France despite emergency laws:"
PARIS (Reuters) - Youths threw Molotov cocktails at police and torched cars in several French cities and towns in a 13th night of violence, ignoring the government's imposition of rarely used emergency laws.
Police said at least 190 cars were set ablaze on Tuesday night and that 70 people had been arrested, but an official said the incidents were sporadic and seemed less violent than on Monday night when more than 1,000 cars went up in flames...."There was a marked decrease (in violence) during the first half of the night," a police spokesman said. "But we will have to see what the rest of the night will be like."
So far it looks like the curfew is keeping most of the rioters indoors.
