French police officers set on fire in immigrant neighbourhood
Four French police officers were set on fire over the weekend in an immigrant neighbourhood when thugs launched petrol bombs at their cars.

The officers were patrolling the Grande Borne, a notorious housing estate in the Essonne on the southern outskirts of Paris.
Eyewitnesses said the officers were “attacked from all sides” on Saturday. They survived the arson attack and are currently being treated at a nearby hospital.
According to a police source “assailants in a group of around a dozen threw Molotov cocktails at the car. Two of the officers were very badly burned and rushed to intensive care units. Two others received hospital treatment. The other officers hurt managed to call reinforcements who turned up to secure the area.”
The perpetrators, who remain at large, are said to be from a black drug gang. The local mayor Jean-Marie Vilain said: “The next step will be to go inside Grande Borne to put an end to all the drug dealing.”
But protests against the government over employment reform has also seen a series of savage attacks on police officers.
Grande Borne, a housing project that was built in the 1960s, is now officially classed as a “sensitive security area”. The attack comes during a state of emergency following a string of Islamic State terror attacks in France.
Jihadists slaughtered 130 people across Paris last November, and in July 86 people in Nice were run down and killed while celebrating Bastille Day.
Malek Boutih, a French Socialist MP described Grande Borne as “one of the most difficult housing estates in France” […] “It has a big black population, who are often people who can’t find housing even when they’re working. There’s at least 40% unemployment, broken families, a high level of violence and decomposition. It’s not so much poverty that leads to it, it’s the decay of social order. There is extreme societal misery.”
Built as a 1960s social utopia experiment by architect Emile Aillaud, the winding coloured buildings were intended to become an ideal of modern living, but instead has become a by-word for poverty, drug dealing, arms trafficking, youth criminality and attacks on police, as well as arson attacks on public buildings.
Amedy Coulibaly, the Islamist suspect for the Montrouge shooting, and hostage-taker and gunman in the Porte de Vincennes hostage crisis, lived in Grande Borne.
