Police Arrest 150 As Unrest Spreads In France

NANTERRE, France (AP) — Protesters angry after police shot a 17-year-old boy dead set cars and buildings ablaze in Paris suburbs. Unrest spread to some other French cities and towns Wednesday night and Thursday morning, despite increased security efforts and the president’s calls for calm. The killing Tuesday of 17-year-old Nahel during a traffic check was captured on video and shocked the country. It also stirred up long-simmering tensions between police and young people in housing projects and other disadvantaged neighborhoods around France. A second night of violence erupted in the Paris suburb of Nanterre and nearby towns, and police reported 150 arrests.
