More than 40 people have been arrested after clashes in Sweden between police and people angry at plans by a far-right group to burn copies of the Quran, the media reported. Three people were injured in Norrkoping when officers fired warning shots at rioters, police said. The violence was sparked by a series of rallies organised by the Danish-Swedish politician Rasmus Paludan. He says he has burned a copy of Islam`s holy book.
