Youths use blogs to plan riots
France's government is policing cyberspace as well as the suburbs of Pairs in the battle to end two weeks of rioting.
It is reported that young rioters are using blog messages to incite violence and cell phones to organize attacks in guerrilla-like tactics they have copied from anti-globalization protesters, security experts say.
Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has diverted resources to monitoring blogs -- short for Web logs -- in an effort to anticipate the movements of the protesters, who have set fire to thousands of cars since the unrest began on October 27. France's government has issued a decree declaring a state of emergency in Paris and more than 30 other towns and cities following a 13th night of rioting. Only Amiens, in the north, has so far imposed an overnight curfew under the new powers - in force since midnight. Job Discrimination against youths of North African origin is thought to be one of the key issues fuelling the riots.
