...African descent, wreaking havoc as they swarm from their neglected homes in the outskirts or banlieues of Paris into the heart of the city, all to a grueling, nightmarish electro beat. Followed by a camera crew from their housing project to Sacre Coeur to Charles de Gaulle airport, they harass women, break a bottle over a café owner's head, fight with the police and commit a carjacking. The video ends with the car set aflame and the cameraman apparently beaten unconscious. The screen goes black, and a final, garbled voice screams in French, "Does filming this...

It's similar to the deal that Deng Xiaoping and his successors...

Turkey has long been hostile to the very idea of an autonomous - let alone independent - Kurdistan, which they fear would incite secessionist feelings among Turkey's own Kurdish minority. At the same time, Iraq's Kurdish leaders have been unwilling to move against the PKK, having tried and failed to defeat them during the 1990s. Instead, they have urged Turkey...
