France has dispatched its elite GIGN commandos to reinforce beleaguered police as the country braces for a fifth night of violence over the killing of Nahel Merzouk.
Some 45,000 police officers and Gendarmes were mobilised on Saturday evening, after hundreds of people gathered to bury the 17-year-old police shooting victim in the Paris suburb of Nanterre.
Arrests were made in cities across France with a police source quoted on BFMTV giving the number as 121.
And again, the pattern repeats itself. Alès police station – in a residential area – is set ablaze using fireworks and other explosive tactics. #FranceRiots pic.twitter.com/uwlWShxZUb
