Second day of riots shakes Sweden...

Some 200 youths have hurled rocks at police and set cars ablaze in the Swedish capital in the second day of rioting triggered by the fatal police shooting of a man wielding a knife.

Dozens of windows were smashed on in a largely immigrant suburb of Stockholm on Tuesday, ten cars and several containers were set on fire, and seven police officers were injured.

Cars and containers were also set ablaze in Fittja, another of suburb of the capital.

The unrest began Sunday night in response to the May 13 shooting, in which police killed a 69-year-old man who had locked himself in an apartment in Husby, west of Stockholm. Police refused to give the nationality of the victim. Full story...
