Paris unrest after teen deaths

November 26, 2007

The pair were riding on a stolen motorcycle when the accident happened on Sunday in the town of Villiers-le-Bel, north of Paris. The incident rekindled memories of the 2005 countrywide riots which were triggered by the death of two teenagers from another Parisian suburb who were electrocuted in an electricity sub-station after apparently fleeing police. The riots were France's worst urban unrest in 40 years.
