GRIGNY, France -



Rioters fired shots at police in an 11th night of riots in France on Sunday, injuring 10 policemen,
two of them seriously, police said.
Some 200 youths were lobbing stones and other objects
at police in Grigny, south of Paris, a police spokesman
said, adding that some of the rioters had fired at
officers with shotguns, hitting 10 policemen.
Two officers were being treated in a hospital, one
with lead shot wounds to the throat, the other
with wounds to a leg.
"The rioting erupted Oct. 27 after two teenagers of north African
descent were accidentally electrocuted as they hid in a power
substation, apparently believing police were chasing them.
Anger was then fanned anew days ago when a tear gas bomb
exploded in a mosque in Clichy-sous-Bois — the northern
suburb where the youths died.
Government officials have held a series of meetings with
Muslim religious leaders, local officials and youths from
poor suburbs to try to calm the violence."
