France Enjoys Peace After Weeks of Turmoil
PARIS (AP) - French streets were relatively peaceful overnight after three weeks of unrest, police said Thursday. But protest has erupted amid suggestions that polygamy played a role in the violence. Almost 3,000 youths - many of them French-born children of North and West African immigrants - have been arrested. At the peak 1,408 vehicles were burned in a single night. But police said the number vehicles set ablaze late Wednesday and early Thursday fell to just 98, the lowest tally yet.
