Police in Stockholm are to seek reinforcements after
youths set cars ablaze and threw stones at police for a
fifth night running, officials said.
About 30 cars were set on fire in poorer districts in
north-western and south-western parts of the Swedish
capital on Thursday night, with rioters causing
widespread damage to property, including schools.
However, a police spokesman said the overnight violence
was less intense than in previous nights.
Despite Sweden's reputation for equality, the rioting has
exposed a faultline between a well-off majority and a
minority, often young people with immigrant backgrounds,
who cannot find work, lack education and feel
marginalised.
