Shots were fired at police and firefighters, a primary school was vandalised, a police station ransacked, a sports hall incinerated and 315 cars set ablaze as rioting on sink estates around Paris showed no signs of slowing.

Three French TV journalists were dragged from their car, which was first used to ram the front door of a bank then turned over and torched, police said yesterday.

In seven consecutive nights of street fighting, stoning and Molotov cocktail attacks 98 people, mainly young immigrants of north or black African origin, have been arrested in Seine Saint-Denis alone.
