Six One News: Tony Connelly, Europe Correspondent, reports that tensions have risen in Paris after claims that riot police fired tear gas canisters into a mosque during disturbances in a largely immigrant suburb of the capital
France's Minister of the Interior is visiting a suburb of Paris, which has been the scene of four nights of rioting.
The rioting started after two teenagers, believed to be of African origin, were electrocuted while fleeing police.
Minister Nicolas Sarkozy will later meet the teenagers' parents in the northeast suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois, which is home to large numbers of immigrants.
Six police officers were hurt in the overnight disturbances in which 11 people were arrested.
