Unrest erupted in France for a second night in a row as balaclava-clad protesters burning rubbish and shooting fireworks clashed with security forces in violent demonstrations over the fatal shooting of a teenager by police.
Nahel M., 17, was shot in the chest at point-blank range on Tuesday morning in an incident that has reignited debate in France about police tactics long criticized by rights groups over the treatment of people in low-income suburbs, particularly ethnic minorities.
The teenager's mother called for a march on Thursday in tribute to her only child.
