| Cars set on fire in Berlin in possible copycat incident |
| 2005-11-07 |
| BERLIN - More police were ordered onto the streets of the German capital Monday after five cars were set on fire in a poor district - fuelling fears of copycat violence like the rioting sweeping France. "The extra patrols are a preventive measure," said Berlin police spokesman. The cars were burned in five separate streets in Berlin's Moabit district, a poor region with a high number of foreigners a few kilometres from the central government district. Nobody was injured in the attacks. Police said nobody had claimed responsibility for the attacks and that all possible motives were being investigated. Rest at link. |

| #3 If this spreads to Mo-town and a UAW worker gets killed, we shall see some true violence. It'll be worse than when the Tigers win the Pennant. |

| #2 Wouldn't it be ironic as all hell if several Middle Eastern men were arrested for throwing firebombs at the Reichstag. Er, I mean the Bundestag. Ahem, otherwise, I doubt it will spill over into Germany, for the singular reason that the Moslems living there are from Turkey, not Africa. |
