Rioting in Stockholm suburbs continued for the fourth night in a row, and spread to southern suburbs including Hagsätra, where rioters attacked a police patrol, seriously wounding one officer. Last night alone firefighters dealt with 80 fires. The rioters have thrown rocks at police and firefighters; torched hundreds of cars; and attacked schools, stores, an arts center, a restaurant, and a police station. The unrest in the predominantly Muslim-immigrant areas is being blamed on "social exclusion" and "bleak" economic prospects for youth in these suburbs, where, in Husby, for example, youth unemployment stands at 6 percent, double that of the capital.
