Race Riots Grip Italian Town

Over the past weekend extreme race riots have erupted in the working-class city of Rosarno, Italy which included cars being burned, shops being damaged and more than 70 people, including 30 immigrants, 19 policemen and 17 Italians were injured.

Due to these riots the local authorities put more than a thousand African workers aboard trains and buses and shipped them to immigrant detention centres following the worst riots the country has seen in years.

It is believed that the riot was started following what the workers believed to be racist attack on a 2 legal immigrant worker with a pellet-guns by locals. Authorities are unsure who pulled the trigger but they are investigating the theory that organised crime may have been linked to the incident.
