Stockholm - Several cars and other vehicles were torched, while homemade explosives and stones were thrown at police in overnight clashes with youths Friday in the Swedish city of Malmö.

There were no injuries and some 20 people were briefly detained.

The troubles were described as the worst in protests linked to the recent closure of a basement used as a mosque in the Rosengard district. Most of the population in the district are immigrants.

The protests became violent after police on Monday evicted youths who for three weeks had occupied the basement, which also was being used as an Islamic centre.

Some protesters briefly apprehended earlier this week were described as anarchists and there were also reports that football hooligans were involved in some clashes.

The city of Malmö has some 270,000 inhabitants of which about 21,000 live in Rosengard. City officials estimate that some 50 languages are spoken in Rosengard, reflecting its multi-ethnic composition.

Earlier this year, emergency services demanded police escort before responding to fires or other accidents in parts of Rosengard after firefighters and vehicles were attacked by stones and fireworks.

I am sorry to say this, but behavior that would have resulted in a fist in your face in righteous Bruks towns, Bergslagen, somehow gets complicated in the South Sweden.

Police prepare for renewed rioting

Riot police from Stockholm and Gothenburg are being sent to provide back-up for their colleagues in Malmö as tensions in the southern city continue to flare.

After two nights of intensive rioting, police in the city requested assistance from units specially trained to deal with mass violent demonstrations.

"We don't think it's over yet. We think it's going to continue and we have to be prepared to work around the clock," said regional police spokesman Charley Nilsson.

Emotions have been running high in Malmö's predominantly immigrant Rosengård district since police forcibly removed three squatters from the basement offices of an Islamic cultural centre. The premises had been occupied since November 24th as part of a protest against the landlord’s decision not to renew the association’s lease for the space, which it had held for the past fifteen years.

Thursday night saw the most extreme rioting in Rosengård since the disturbances began. Police were pelted with Molotov cocktails and bomb threats were issued against a local petrol station.

Police spokeswoman Ewa-Gun Westford said she would not even hazard a guess as to how many police vehicles were damaged in the rioting, as locals were reportedly joined by left-wing extremists, or "autonomists", from outside the area.

The city's fire and rescue services have been refusing to enter the area until their safety can be guaranteed.

One person was arrested for rioting, while another was detained for disturbing the peace.

By 3am on Friday the situation had stabilized somewhat and police were able to move in and remove burning trailers and other objects from the streets with the aid of a bulldozer.

Enjoy your diversity. :cool:

Malmo police are a sad sack of shame.
Bigger problem is why Skåne people are limps.
I don’t like them much, I don’t trust them,
but I could be wrong.

PS. I feel the same way about 08ers.

Everyone knows that.

Everyone in Sweden maybe. ;) As a non-Swede I'm not aware of these regional character differences in Sweden. Maybe this could be a topic for discussion.

[Lars]

Olvik: Would you please clarify your views for us outsiders?

[Jamt]

Ansver to Loki. But could you all handle the truth.

[Loki]

Cold be. But could you all handle the truth.

There's one way to find out. ;)

"Truth" can be subjective. Let us know your views, everyone has views. We won't crucify you for them, but some might disagree.

To be honest Olvik, your postings don't make much sense, I find it hard to understand you.

When are you going to share the "truth" with us Olvik? I must admit the suspense is killing me. :D

[Jamt]

I don’t know a lot about trout (spelling?). Most of the time I tend to get it wrong.
