CRONULLA ERUPTS AGAIN (More racial strife in Australia)
Sky News ^ | 12 Dec 05

Violence has again erupted in Cronulla, in Sydney's south, with reports that many car loads of Middle Eastern youths have descend on the suburb wielding baseball bats.

Despite an increase in police presence, the youths have managed to get through and are causing what is being described as extensive damage.

Police are warning people to avoid the area.

It has not been confirmed whether the groups came from the demonstrations staged at Lakemba Mosque, in the city's south west, earlier this evening.

A group, which at one stage numbered in the thousands, gathered outside the Mosque chanting religious slogans.

The demonstration was mainly peaceful, however police say rocks were thrown at officers by a small number of people and two police cars were damaged.

Meanwhile, in the eastern beachside suburb of Maroubra, police have confiscated cricket bats, rocks and iron bars from a group which had gathered in a park.
