Antwerp: Rioting following Morocco - Algeria match

Via VRT:

The Antwerp suburb of Borgerhout was the scene of rioting by immigrant youngsters last night following a soccer match between Morocco and Algeria.

A large group of youngsters gathered and started hurling stones. One youngster even threw a petrol bomb. Some thirty youths were detained. Four were arrested on vandalism charges.

Antwerp police say that video pictures will be used to identify other vandals.

There were disturbances at the Kiel, but the atmosphere turned most nasty in Borgerhout where two hundred youngsters had massed. Stones rained on the police and several vehicles were damaged.
