ROSTOCK, Germany — Hundreds of German right-wingers cheered on by a crowd clashed with police and attacked a refugee hostel Monday in the third straight night of anti-foreigner violence in the eastern city of Rostock.
The neo-Nazi attackers threw stones and fire bombs at the hostel for foreign asylum-seekers hours after all 200 refugees there, most of them Romanian Gypsies, had been evacuated.
Police fought the mostly young attackers with water cannon and tear gas in a repeat of clashes that shocked the city over the weekend.
The crowd chanted slogans like “Germany to the Germans,” “Foreigners out” and “We’ll get you all.” Some waved German flags.
