Protesters have clashed with police in Paris as hundreds of people rallied to call for justice after a shooting in a mainly Kurdish neighbourhood in the French capital that killed three people.

Reporting from the protest, Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid said there was frustration among members of the Kurdish community, many of whom believe they were deliberately targeted in Friday’s attack.
