British PM to hold crisis talks on riots, cleanup starts

None

British Prime Minister David Cameron was to hold crisis talks on Tuesday after three nights of riots, looting and arson by masked, hooded youths that wrecked shopping centers in many parts of London and spread to three other cities: Bristol in the southwest, Birmingham in the Midlands and the northwest port of Liverpool.

 

Late on Monday, as the violence died down, cars piled high with goods drove at high speed through London streets. Witnesses were told of numerous cases of car theft by groups of looters. (Reuters)
