For the second night, “youths” rampaged through Paris suburbs: Violence flares again in Paris suburbs.

MONTFERMEIL, France - Youths torched a dozen cars and hurled stones at police in a second night of violence in the troubled Paris suburbs, raising memories of rioting that rocked the nation last year.

Six police officers suffered light injuries and 13 people were detained in the violence Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, police said.

It did not appear to reach the scale of the first overnight clashes Monday night, in which bands of young people hurled gasoline bombs at public buildings and took to the streets with baseball bats. Then, police said nine officers were wounded and that they fired rubber pellets to disperse the roughly 100 youths.
