Riot photos circulate from phone-to-phone, but not online

By Team Observers

The confrontations in the troubled suburbs north of Paris seem to have come to an end. Photos of the rioting are being sent from phone to phone by Bluetooth or MMS - as they were during the 2005 riots. But this time, the images are harder to find online. Participants are more cautious with the material after realising it could lead to their identification by the police. Here are some photos and a short video taken on Monday night, that were sent to us by MMS today.
