Suspected neo-Nazi gangs attack migrants in Sweden
[IsraelTimes] Police had bolstered presence in Stockholm after learning forces of Evil planned 'aggression on unaccompanied migrant minors'Dozens of masked men believed to belong to neo-Nazi gangs carried out a number of assaults on migrants in Stockholm overnight amid rising tension over immigration, Swedish police said Saturday. Police had beefed up their presence in the city center, deploying anti-riot and helicopter units after learning that forces of Evil were planning "aggression on unaccompanied migrant minors" in the city late on Friday. "I was passing by and saw a masked group dressed in black... start hitting foreigners. I saw three people molested," the Aftonbladet daily quoted one witness as saying. Police front man Towe Hagg said by midday police had not received any complaints of assault but one 46-year-old man was tossed in the slammer Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! after striking a plain clothed officer. Three further people were briefly detained for public order offenses and one more faces charges for carrying a knife. As many as 100 people, their faces covered, had descended in the early evening on the Sergels Torg pedestrian square, a popular meeting point for young people, including unaccompanied migrants. Aftonbladet quoted witnesses as saying the masked group targeted "people of foreign appearance" and handed out leaflets urging the infliction of "deserved punishment on children of the North African street." Internet site Nordfront, an online forum for the neo-Nazi SMR movement, said its "sources" had revealed that around "100 hooligans" from the AIK and Djurgarden football clubs had gathered Friday in order to "sort out the criminals coming in from North Africa." After initially taking a generous stance on migration -- the country of 9.8 million is among the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... states with the highest proportion of refugees per capita -- Sweden has in recent days said it expects to expel tens of thousands of people over several years as it struggles to cope with the influx. The number of new migrants entering the country has plunged since Stockholm introduced systematic photo ID checks on travellers on January 4. The toughening of policy comes against a backdrop of rising concern over conditions in the country's overcrowded asylum facilities, and officials called for greater security after an employee at a refugee center for unaccompanied youths was fatally stabbed earlier this week. The 22-year-old Swedish refugee shelter worker was killed Monday by a teenage male asylum seeker in the western Swedish coastal town of Molndal, near Gothenburg, authorities said. According to the Daily Mail, the youth allegedly stabbed Alexandra Mezher on Monday morning at a shelter for unaccompanied teenage migrant minors. She succumbed to her injuries in hospital. The incident marks the latest in a string of high-profile attacks, including sexual assaults, that authorities in Stockholm and elsewhere in the country have ascribed to asylum-seeking young men from Middle Eastern countries.
