The Interior Ministry said Thursday that 940 cars were set on fire by vandals on New Year’s Eve, fewer than the 1,067 set aflame the previous year. A ministry spokesman, Pierre-Henry Brandet, said on BFM-TV that cars had been burned around the country, particularly in the east, as well as in suburban Paris, notably the Seine-Saint-Denis region — where riots that spread throughout France started in 2005.
