Sarkozy Calls Security Meeting to Address Riots

He’ll be in China another day so it will be interesting to see what happens this evening:

French President Nicolas Sarkozy will summon senior aides to a security meeting when he returns from China on Wednesday, after a second night of violence in Paris suburbs left around 80 police hurt.

Prime Minister Francois Fillon and Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie would be among officials at the meeting, Sarkozy’s spokesman David Martinon said in a statement on Tuesday.

Sarkozy will first visit a senior police officer seriously hurt in Villiers-le-Bel, Martinon said, referring to the suburb north of Paris where the deaths of two youths in a crash with a police car on Sunday sparked the latest unrest.
