Violence and vandalism flared on Tuesday, with police firing rubber bullets and tear gas after dozens of the estimated 700 factories in the area were attacked. “All our windows were smashed, our computers and furniture destroyed,” said M.A Hamid, manager of the Scandex factory which was working on an order of polo shirts for American retail giant Wal-Mart.

HAPPY MAY DAY!
Working towards a seven day weekend! No work, all play, everyday!
Dinamo Zagreb won their fifth successive Croatian league title with two games to spare after a 0-0 home draw against traditional rivals Hajduk Split.
The result gave Dinamo an unassailable seven-point lead over the season’s surprise package Cibalia Vinkovci, who were 2-0 winners at second-bottom Medjimurje Cakovec.
The drab Croatian derby produced few fireworks on the pitch but plenty on the terraces, where the home fans clashed with riot police at halftime.
The violence broke out after Dinamo supporters hurled flares on to the pitch, forcing police to move in and expel dozens of fans from the stadium’s north tier.
Germany May Day
BERLIN, Germany - Police battled rioters late Saturday in two German cities, using water cannon on trucks to drive back crowds of anarchists throwing stones, bottles and fireworks. Violence, including brawls between leftists and rightists, anarchists flinging stones and bottles at police and rampages into banks and shops has been an annual May Day ritual for more than two decades in Berlin and Hamburg. In the capital, Berlin, the violence began after 10,000 leftists and anarchists held a late-afternoon parade. Police were more robust than in earlier years, arresting assailants promptly. After hours of skirmishes, the streets were calmer by midnight. In the port city of Hamburg, the rioting followed a parade by 1,500 leftist radicals and continued into the early hours of Sunday. Police admitted the violence had spread throughout an inner-city residential district.
