 SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Violence spilled into a second night Monday as scores of youths drove through predominantly white suburbs of Sydney, smashing windows of cars, homes and stores and raising fears of spreading racial unrest.
In response, the region's premier said Tuesday police would be given increased power to crack down on rioters.
"New South Wales parliament will be recalled for a special emergency sitting on Thursday morning to provide police with extra powers to deal with criminals and thugs who are causing disturbances across our city," New South Wales state leader Morris Iemma said.
