LYON (Reuter) - Youth violence hit the troubled immigrant suburb of Valux-en-Velin, near Lyon, for the second successive night after police shot dead a teenager from the area. Police said yesterday that 200 angry youths stoned a police station and set fire to a dozen cars on Saturday night. They were protesting at the killing of an 18-year-old Moroccan-born man who tried to force his way through a police roadblock last week.
