British Riots Spread to New Cities

London was mostly calm on Tuesday night, but Britain’s problems are only getting worse: Rioting and looting spread to several other cities, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Nottingham. The riots may have turned deadly too, as three men were killed in Birmingham in a hit-and-run. According to the Telegraph, the men were attempting to defend neighborhood shops and properties from looters; prior to their deaths, they were praying at the local mosque. Police have arrested a 32-year-old man in connection with the deaths and opened a murder investigation. Police also arrested 113 people in Manchester and Salford.
