Omar Sehhouli, the brother of one of the dead teenagers said that the rioting "was not violence but an expression of rage".
Oh, nah, looting, setting fire to the police station, petrol station and cars, attacking police officers - that's not violent
Clashes broke out on Sunday night after two teenagers - aged 15 and 16 - were killed when the motorcycle they were driving collided with a police car.
Police sources said the two were riding a stolen mini-motorcycle, and that neither was wearing a helmet.
The teenagers were not being chased by police at the time of the accident, a police source told the Reuters news agency.

It's just any excuse, isn't it?
Correspondents say the scenes are reminiscent of the country-wide riots in 2005, triggered when two teenagers from another Parisian suburb - Clichy-sous-Bois - were electrocuted in an electricity sub-station where they had hidden from police.
See?
