Arson attacks spread to central Paris

The number of cars torched overnight - 918 across France - was the highest yet since the unrest began Oct. 27. Of the cars burned, 545 were outside of the Paris region, the Interior Ministry said. The night before, 900 vehicles were burned across the country.

The count of overnight arson attacks, still incomplete, could rise further, the police said Sunday, adding that it did not include shops, gymnasiums, nursery schools and other targets attacked by bands of youths.

The town of Evreux, 100 kilometers, or 60 miles, west of Paris, appeared hardest hit by marauding youths overnight, a national police spokesman, Patrick Hamon, said. Arsonists there laid waste to at least 50 vehicles, shops and businesses at a shopping center, a post office and two schools, he said.

Five police officers and three firefighters were hurt in clashes with youths, he said.
