Facebook party turns to rioting in Netherlands

None

Police and prosecutors say they are investigating how rioting erupted after thousands of revelers descended on a small Dutch town for a party that was inadvertently advertised on Facebook.

 

Authorities say 34 people were arrested Friday night and in the early hours of Saturday morning as rioters clashed with police in Haren, 185 kilometers north of Amsterdam. Dutch media reported that the party originally was planned as a small celebration by a 16-year-old girl but her invitation went viral when she posted it on Facebook. (AP)
