STOCKHOLM (Reuter) - Neo-Nazi skinheads and left-wing demonstrators clashed in Stockholm during patriotic ceremonies to mark the death of the Swedish warrior king Charles XII.

Police detained 32 during skirmishing between the two groups in which shop windows were smashed. Swedish authorities mobilised 900 police equipped with riot gear in Stockholm and 600 in the southern city of Lund to separate neo-Nazi and anti-racist groups.
