Riot Erupts In French Town Of Lyon…

Police in the French city of Lyon have used teargas to disperse youths throwing stones and attacking cars. Two people were arrested on the city's famous Place Bellecour square, in the first rioting in a major city centre.

The unrest, which followed more than two weeks of violence in France's poor suburbs, occurred hours before a curfew for minors came into force in Lyon.
