Paris riots Spread.

The Riots in Paris are now into their 11th day and are believed to be spreading to other European cities - specifically Brussels and Berlin. Numerous cities within France are also experiencing rioting.

The riots are focused in suburban areas of large African and Arab populations and are said to have started following the deaths of two young Arabs youths fleeing police and subsequent comments by Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy when he described urban vandals as "racaille" (translated as "rabble"). Anger grew when a gas grenade hit a mosque.
