Up to 100 youths rioted for a second night in Rinkeby, Stockholm
Rioters in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, have burned down a school building and thrown stones at police in a second night of disturbances.
The trouble began on Monday after a group of youths in a suburb with a mainly immigrant population were refused entry to a school dance.
Police say up to 100 youths went on the rampage, throwing stones and setting several cars alight.
Two people were detained but later released.
‘Little Mogadishu’
Police said the rioters threw stones at the fire engines, preventing them from reaching the school building before it burned to the ground. The youths also attacked a police station.
Rinkeby is home to a large number of first- and second-generation immigrants. Many of them are from Somalia, so the area is sometimes nicknamed Little Mogadishu.
Government ministers have visited Rinkeby to assess the situation.

Fear not friends, Islam will be destroyed.Depleted uranium in the middle east and western asia will kill off most people in the next 10 years.These people are the Muslims.
When they realize this,faith in Allah will stop immediately…can’t wait.
Wow… have times changed since I was at school! Do these kids really think they’re going to help their case by going violent and destructive? Seems like a pretty illogical approach to solving a problem as simple as not be allowed into a school dance!
