France: Muslim Youths Wage War On Police

On September 20, we reported that two members of the French Compagnies Republicaines de Securite (CRS) were savagely attacked in Corbeils-Essonne in a southern Parisian suburb. While patrolling in a vehicle at the Les Tartarets housing project when they came under a hail of stones. When one of the officers of the vehicle got out, 20 youths who had been hiding began to assault him. When the driver went to help, he too was attacked. The youths dispersed when back-up arrived on the scene, but both officers had injuries, requiring one to be hospitalized (pictured).

There had been rumors that youths in Paris were hoping to re-enact the rioting which had afflicted Parisian suburbs last year for three weeks from the end of October into November. The majority of youths in the Parisian riots had been Muslim, of north African and West African descent.

This started a pattern which has been gaining in intensity. On Monday October 2, AFP via Expatica reported that seven policemen had been hurt in a clash which took place in Les Mureaux, in the western outskirts of Paris.

Late on Sunday a man drove his car into a police vehicle and was arrested. As another car took the man to a police station, this vehicle was attacked by a crowd of youths. Police said there were 250, while the prosecutor's office tried to downplay the number to 130.

Some of the police were injured when a stone had been thrown into the vehicle. This had set off a tear-gas grenade inside the car. One police car was set on fire, and no arrests were made.

The Telegraph reports that a French police union has reported that Muslim youths in the suburbs were waging an "intifada" against the police. The union, "Action Police" has said that its officers were "in a state of civil war" with the Muslims. An average of 14 officers are injured avery day, though the media is downplaying the scale of the incidents, perhaps fearful of a re-run of last year's riots, which soon spread beyond Paris.

The Interior Ministry has reported that almost 2,500 police officers have been injured while on duty this year, a problem that has dramatically increased recently since the custom began two years ago.

Michel Thoomis, secretary general of "Action Police" said: "We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists. This is not a question of urban violence any more, it is an intifada, with stones and Molotov cocktails. You no longer see two or three youths confronting police, you see whole tower blocks emptying into the streets to set their 'comrades' free when they are arrested."

"We need armoured vehicles and water cannon. They are the only things that can disperse crowds of hundreds of people who are trying to kill police and burn their vehicles."

Recently Nicolas Sarkozy, the Interior Minister, has been behind a campaign to seize power away from the drug-dealing and smuggling gangs who currently control many of the estates in the Parisian suburbs.

The head of another police union, "Alliance", one Gerard Demarcq, said that the attacks against officers was proof that the policy of reclaiming territory from the criminal gangs was working.

Francois Garay, mayor of Les Mureaux, scene of Sunday night's incident, said that aggressive policing caused "the people on the ground to pick up the pieces".
