Riots continue in Paris suburb over death of 2 teenagers

    PARIS, Oct. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Riots continued in a Paris suburb three days after the death of two teenagers trying to escape police and twenty-two youths were held in police custody on Sunday.

    The young men threw petrol bombs and set at least 15 cars on fire in the streets of Clichy-sous-Bois, northeast of Paris, where two local teenagers, Ziad, aged 17, and Banou, 15, were electrocuted Thursday while they were running away from police.

    The local public prosecutor said the two boys had wrongly thought they were being chased by police. It is based on questioning of a 21-year-old witness who survived the electrocution.

    Nine were arrested overnight Saturday after 13 were taken into custody as hundreds of youths clashed with police on Thursday and Friday nights.

    On Saturday a peaceful procession of 500 people marched in Clichy-sous-Bois in tribute to the teenagers. Enditem
