PARIS (Reuters) - Around 30 youths pelted a riot police vehicle and a bus with stones and smashed windows in a McDonald's store on Wednesday evening in a Paris suburb that was the scene of riots in November, police said.

The incidents took place in the same housing estate where two boys died in a collision with a police car in the northern Paris suburb of Villiers-le-Bel last year, sparking several days of rioting.

The government this week announced a rescue plan for the troubled, poor suburbs which called for more jobs, better transport and more powers for local officials.
