BERLIN - More police were ordered onto the streets of the German capital Monday after five cars were set on fire in a poor district - fuelling fears of copycat violence like the rioting sweeping France. "The extra patrols are a preventive measure," said Berlin police spokesman.
The cars were burned in five separate streets in Berlin's Moabit district, a poor region with a high number of foreigners a few kilometres from the central government district. Nobody was injured in the attacks. Police said nobody had claimed responsibility for the attacks and that all possible motives were being investigated.
