Apart from that horrific Molotov cocktail attack on a bus that sent a woman to the hospital with burns over 60% of her body, the French Interior Ministry says last night was relatively calm.

“Relatively calm,” in this case, means that only 200 cars were burned by disenchanted youths.

Aside from the bus attack in Marseille, the Interior Ministry said that both Friday and Saturday night were “relatively calm.” Youths set fire to about 200 vehicles Saturday, police said. But even on ordinary nights, the number of cars burned often reaches 100.
