Sweden burning: Stockholm immigrant riots & violence enter 4th day



Smashed windows and cars on fire - one of Europe's most peaceful capitals, Stockholm, is witnessing its worst outbreak of violence in years. Hundreds of youths, mostly immigrants, have ripped through the city's suburbs in four nights of unrest.

The violence has shocked the country, famous for its attractive immigration policies and generous welfare system. Sweden has for years been accepting immigrants who fail to integrate, and are only there to get money for nothing - that's the view of Swedish journalist Ingrid Carlqvist.
