And here we thought acting on your xenophobia was a habit of the backwards peoples from non-EU countries.
Indian immigrant set on fire in Italy
A homeless Indian immigrant has been beaten up and set on fire near Rome. The victim, who has been admitted to hospital with serious burns, was sleeping at the train station in the town of Nettuno when he was attacked by three young men. They beat him brutally and set him on fire using petrol. A police official said the attack was apparently not motivated by xenophobia. The three had been drinking and using drugs, and wanted to make "a powerful gesture".
Both opposition leader Walter Veltroni and Foreign Minister Franco Frattini have strongly condemned the attack. Italian migrant organisations have announced they will hold an anti-racism demonstration on Monday.
