ROME (P) — Extra police patrolled Rome's Jewish quarter after two nights of street fighting between Jews and racists.
Six civilians and several policemen were hurt in the skirmishes Monday night. Two more youths and five policemen were injured last night when authorities used tear gas to break up the scuffles.
The fighting broke out as Rome was in the heat of a municipal election campaign prior to voting Sunday.
On Monday night two cars of campaigners of the Italian Social Movement, Italy's postwar Fascist party, drove through the streets of Rome's former Ghetto between the ruins of the Roman Forum and the Tiber River. The area still has many Jewish residents.
Both cars were decorated with party symbols. Several pedestrians halted the cars. Fighting with sticks and stones broke out.
Party officials later said the cars had strayed into the narrow twisting streets of the former Ghetto by mistake when the drivers lost their way. Leftists claimed the cars had gone into the quarters to provoke trouble.
