Car-burning attacks continue

Strasbourg - More cars have been set alight in Strasbourg, bringing the number of vehicles destroyed in street riots since New Year's Eve to 85. The latest attacks came after criticism of official handling of youth violence, much of it concentrated in areas with large immigrant minorities. The Strasbourg state prosecutor, Mr Edmond Stenger, on Friday criticised police for the low number of arrests after youths went on the rampage on New Year's Eve.
