 PARIS - Over fifty people were arrested in France overnight as fans of Algeria celebrated their Arab Cup final triumph, largely

on the Champs Elysees in Paris.

   French police said Sunday that in Paris alone 32 were detained and 432
people had been cautioned, mainly for traffic offences as fans celebrated in
the city centre.

extra-time win in the final of the Arab Cup, sending supporters out in droves
across France with further incidents in Lyon and Roubaix.BSS/AFP
