Madrid - Anti-immigrant demonstrators wrecked shops and cars belonging to north Africans on Saturday night in a town in south-eastern Spain in protest against a killing blamed on a Moroccan man, authorities said.
Hundreds of residents marched through the centre of El Ejido, shouting "Moors, go home", while others set up barricades of burning tyres on a road leading into the small town. The violence broke out after a 26-year-old woman was fatally stabbed in an El Ejido marketplace. Police arrested a Moroccan, reported to be mentally unstable, as the main suspect.
