France warns citizens in riot-hit Niger to stay indoors

Niamey: France`s embassy in Niger warned French citizens to stay indoors Saturday as violent
protests against publication of a Prophet Mohammed cartoon by the French weekly Charlie Hebdo spread in the capital Niamey.

"Be very cautious, avoid going out," the embassy said on its website. Rioters torched churches, threw rocks at police and also ransacked several French-linked businesses, including telephone kiosks run by Orange.
