Eleven held in South Africa in crackdown on anti-foreigner violence
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African authorities arrested 11 men in Johannesburg late on Tuesday suspected of involvement in violence against immigrants, local television news reported. The men were held during a joint raid by the police and army on a Johannesburg hostel, it said on Wednesday. A wave of anti-immigrant violence has so far claimed seven lives in trouble spots in Durban and Johannesburg, to where the government announced the deployment of defence forces on Tuesday.
