Suburb's fury trained on Nicolas Sarkozy - by Chrles Bremner
Three small bouquets were propped up yesterday against the wall where two teenagers died in a collision with a police car in a quiet street in a north Paris suburb. Shaking his head, Hussein, a construction worker from Mali, nodded at the flowers: “You can say that Sarko did this,” he said. The charge struck a chord on the housing estates of Villiers-le-Bel, where hundreds of hooded youths, most no older than 17, fought police, burnt cars and buildings and looted for a second night on Monday. Nicolas Sarkozy, the former Interior Minister who brought tough policing to the presidency in May, is the channel for the anger that lingers in Villiers.
