He said a flame accelerant was found in a bottle in the car. On a public square in Nanterre, a young man of Senegalese descent said France would learn little from the latest unrest. Faiez Njai said of police: “They’re playing on our fears, saying that ‘If you don’t listen to us,”‘–and then he pointed a finger at his temple and fired.
