Teargas and rubber bullets are being aimed at rioters armed with molotov cocktails and firecrackers in the second day of clashes between Parisian youths and police. The uprising began after two youths were killed when their motorcycle collided with a police car. President Sarkozy is urging calm, but police continue to brace themselves for more street battles.
"The accident resembled the event that triggered suburban riots in France in 2005, sparking fears of more violence to come. Two years ago the death of two boys allegedly fleeing the police in the Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois sparked weeks of violence in France's rundown estates."
Do you think this could turn into another major riot like the one we saw in 2005?
