A 15-year-old student had his hand blown off on Monday during a protest in France, authorities said, as demonstrations for better teaching conditions disrupted education at hundreds of schools nationwide. A police union source said the student in the northern town of Lens appeared to have picked up a sting-ball grenade fired by riot police, hoping to fling it back, but the device exploded in his hand. etb-cln-mca/ah/ekf/yad ...
