French rioting spreads to 300 towns

Rioting by French youths has spread to 300 towns and a man hurt in the violence has died of his wounds - the first fatality in 11 days of unrest. Governments worldwide urged their citizens to be careful in France.

Vandals burned more than 1,400 vehicles overnight, and clashes around the country left 36 police injured, setting a new high for nightly arson and violence since rioting started October 27, France's national police chief, Michel Gaudin, told a news conference.

Australia, Britain, Germany and Japan advised their citizens to exercise care in France, joining the United States, Russia and at least a half dozen other countries in warning tourists to stay away from violence-hit areas.

The victim was identified as 61-year-old Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec, who died after being beaten by an attacker. The man, a retired car industry worker, was trying to extinguish a fire in a rubbish bin last Friday at his housing project in the northeastern suburb of Stains when an attacker caught him by surprise and beat him into a coma, police said.

Apparent copycat attacks spread outside France for the first time, with five cars torched outside Brussels' main train station, police in the Belgian capital said.

The mayhem started as an outburst of anger in suburban Paris housing projects and has fanned out nationwide among disaffected youths, mostly of Muslim or African descent, to become France's worst civil unrest in over a decade.

Attacks were reported in 274 towns, and police made 395 arrests, Gaudin said. It was the first time police had been injured by weapons' fire and there were signs that rioters were deliberately seeking out clashes with police, officials said.

Among the injured police, 10 were hurt by youths firing fine-grain birdshot in a late-night clash in the southern Paris suburb of Grigny, national police spokesman Patrick Hamon said. Two were taken to hospital, but their lives were not considered in danger. One was wounded in the neck, the other in the legs.

The unrest began on October 27 in the low-income Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois after the deaths of two teenagers who were of Mauritanian and Tunisian descent. The youths were accidentally electrocuted as they hid from police in a power sub-station, apparently thinking they were being chased.
