The European Front: First Fatality, Cops Shot, German Arson
Monday, November 7, 2005 / 5 Cheshvan 5766(IsraelNN.com) One of the victims of a savage beating by Muslim rioters in France has died of his wounds, making him the first fatality in what the French police union has called a "civil war that spreads a bit more every day across the whole country." In the 11th straight night of rioting and violence, ten riot police officers were hit by birdshot fired by rioters in Grigny. In Denmark, as well, ongoing riots by Muslims have included declarations by rioters that "this land belongs to us." "We rule this place," masked Muslim youth told reporters from the city of Arhus. In Berlin, Germany, last night, five vehicles were set aflame by unidentified vandals. The German police are investigating the possibility of a connection between the arson and the riots in France and Denmark. In France alone, rioters set more than 4,300 vehicles on fire since the start of the unrest. |
