Rioters Continue To Battle Police In Sweden -- Al Jazeera
Nine cars and two schools torched as fifth night of violence sweeps immigrant-dominated areas of Stockholm.
At least nine cars were torched and two schools and a police station were set ablaze as riots swept through Stockholm's immigrant-dominated suburbs for the fifth straight night, police and firefighters have said.
Early on Friday, police told Swedish news agency TT that eight people had been arrested so far for the night's rioting, but no injuries were reported.
