Indian riots

RIVAL mobs of Hindus and Muslims defied a curfew today, burning shops and vehicles in a second day of sectarian violence that has killed two people and wounded 13 in the western Indian town of Veraval.

Mobs burned at least 18 shops and 13 vehicles in the town where more than 1,000 people were killed in Hindu-Muslim rioting two years ago.

The violence began when young Muslim males heckled a passing Hindu girl.
