More buildings set on fire in London rioting

More buildings set on fire in London rioting

08 August 2011 22:21 (UTC +04:00)

Baku-APA. In a third day of rioting in London, police have clashed with groups of youths in one part of the city, and vehicles and buildings have been set on fire in two other deprived neighborhoods, APA reports quoting Associated Press..

In Hackney, East London, dozens of youths attacked shops and windows on Monday and pelted riot police with fireworks, pieces of wood and other objects.

South of the River Thames, a building and a bus â€” which was not carrying passengers â€” have been set ablaze in Peckham, with thick clouds of smoke billowing from the scene. In nearby Lewisham, a line of cars was torched.

The unrest, which began Saturday night, was sparked by a police shooting, but some blamed unemployment, insensitive policing and opportunistic looting for the worst violence the city has seen in years.
