Spain's wogbashing unleashed..... iQue barbaridad! The BBC's Daniel Schweimler reports from Madrid "Local immigrant community has asked for protection" Tuesday, 8 February, 2000, 15:30 GMT Spain struggles with race riots Protesters blocked streets with burning barricades Riot police in Spain have again clashed with hundreds of protesters on the third consecutive day of violence directed against immigrants from North Africa. The local immigrant community has asked the authorities for protection after rioting left their property ransacked and their cars overturned.

But a pro-rebel march attracted 10,000 people on Saturday in the Basque city of Pamplona. The government blames the rebels for causing 800 deaths in their 31-year struggle for Basque independence. Mr. Aznar said today that the fight against the rebels "will be difficult, tough and long." [snip] nytimes.com Why such a double standard??
