Several hundred demonstrators gathered on Monday near the Gare du Nord train station for the protest, which had not been declared to the authorities, and began turning over bins and throwing bottles at the police.

One policeman was among four people injured, said the police, who held 164 of those initially detained for further questioning. In Sri Lanka, the government on Monday gave Tamil Tiger fighters and their leader 24 hours to surrender after tens of thousands of trapped civilians managed to flee from the last area under rebel control. »  ***© 2009 AFP***
