Masked men are lined up against a wall by riot police in a Stockholm suburb, Saturday. Community patrols and a beefed-up police presence helped to calm violence around Stockholm but 20 to 30 cars were still torched in poor immigrant suburbs and serious incidents were reported outside the capital for the first time. — Reuters STOCKHOLM — Swedish police say they are looking for perpetrators involved in the weeklong riots in Stockholm suburbs that have resulted in some 220 reported crimes. Summing up a week of violence and destruction, police spokesman Kjell Lindgren says around 60 people have been detained, suspected of various crimes, although most of them have been released awaiting charges. He says the police investigation shows both organized rioters, seasoned criminals and young teenagers have been involved in burning cars, smashing windows and throwing rocks at police in the low-income, predominantly immigrant areas of the Swedish capital. The unrest in the Stockholm suburbs, which has now largely subsided, was sparked by perceived police brutality after officers shot and killed a knife-wielding man who had locked himself in his apartment. — AP
