COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -
Bands of youths set fire to cars, buses and schools in Denmark on
Saturday, the seventh night of rioting and vandalism in the capital
Copenhagen and other Danish cities, police said on Sunday.
Four youths were arrested in the capital for suspected arson and
at least 24 fires were reported across the country. Several youths
were detained in Denmark's second city Aarhus in Jutland, and in
Odense on Funen island.
"It is some of the same groups that have roamed the city for the
last couple of nights," police operations leader Preben Jorgensen
told Reuters while inspecting fire damage at Tingbjerg School in
the outskirts of Copenhagen.
Hundreds of cars and a number of schools have been vandalised
or burned in the past week. Police could give no reason, but said
unusually mild weather and the closure of schools for a winter break
might have contributed.
Authorities have arrested dozens of youths,
predominantly with immigrant backgrounds.

MENTION IS USUALLY MADE.)
Police said that Saturday night was calmer than earlier in the week.AND LIFE GOES ON...
