Looters chant 'Allahu Akbar' during Stuttgart's worst ever riots that turned the city into 'a battlefield' - as police reveal those involved were 'mainly young people with a migration background'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Up to 500 rioters attacked police with stones and bottles after a white German teenager was arrested for a drugs offence
- 12 foreign nationals and three Germans of 'migrant background' were among the 24 arrested, police announced yesterday
- Police say there was no sign of a political motivation, blaming alcohol and the 'party scene' for the outbreak of violence
- 19 police officers were hurt, 40 shops were attacked, 12 police vehicles were damaged, some of them so badly that they had to be taken out of service
- Angela Merkel today condemned the violence as 'abhorrent' and said rioters had 'turned against their city'
| From An Nahar, added after the midnight rollover for future reference: |
Asked about the nationalities of the 12 non-Germans who were detailed, Stuttgart deputy police chief Thomas Berger said they stemmed from a range of countries from Croatia and Portugal to Afghanistan and Somalia.
