Chirac to bring in curfews in effort to stem riots

Rioting had reached unprecedented proportions overnight on Sunday, when 1,408 cars were torched and 400 young men were arrested across France, bringing the total to 4,700 vehicles destroyed and 1,200 people taken into custody since October 27th.

The riots also claimed their first fatality when Jean-Jacques Le Chenedec (61), a retired automobile worker who was beaten unconscious when he and a neighbour tried to put out a fire lit by rioters on Friday night, died in hospital. Residents of his town of Stains, north of Paris, held a silent protest march last night and his widow Nicole said she hoped her husband's death would be avenged.
