Protesters angry over the killing of a 17-year-old by French police set cars and buildings on fire in the Paris suburbs.
Police arrested 150 people in the second night of protests late Wednesday and early Thursday, the interior minister said.
The fatal shooting of Nael on Tuesday during a traffic check in Nanterre, captured on video, was the latest police killing to shock France. It sparked long-simmering tensions between youths and police in housing projects and other deprived neighborhoods across the country.
Nael’s surname has not been released by authorities or his family. His mother called on Thursday for a silent march in his honor on the square where he was killed.
