Australia’s leader said race riots in Sydney involving whites and youths of Middle Eastern appearance in recent days were appalling, and that all parties must be prosecuted regardless of their background or grievances. “The incidents were appalling. There is no doubt about that. Violence is never acceptable, never,” Prime Minister John Howard said in Malaysia’s main city, Kuala Lumpur, where he was attending a regional summit. “And people who indulge in violence are breaking the law and they should be punished.” Youths in cars rampaged through southern suburbs of Australia’s largest city last night, smashing store windows and attacking parked cars. Seven people were injured and 11 arrested.
