PARIS (Reuters) – Hundreds of youths clashed with police overnight and shots were reportedly fired at police as unrest in poor Paris suburbs entered a second week, piling pressure on France’s conservative government.

Youths rampaged in nine poor suburbs north and east of Paris, home to North African and black African minorities frustrated at their failure to get jobs or recognition in French society, leaving a trail of destruction behind them.

Police said some 40 cars and two buses were set alight, police and fire crews were pelted with projectiles. A school and a shopping center were also damaged in violence that police unions said was escalating.
