More than 200 far-right extremists have been arrested after they went on a rampage during a xenophobic rally in the German city of Leipzig, setting cars on fire and smashing windows.
Many of the extremists were already known to police as football hooligans and wrought chaos on Monday in an area known to be left-leaning, while thousands of supporters of the anti-migrant Pegida movement held an anti-refugee demonstration elsewhere in the city, authorities said.
A total of 211 arrests were made after the Connewitz district of the eastern city was attacked, police confirmed. » | Agence France-Presse | Tuesday, January 12, 2016
