Dutch tram set on fire in new Amsterdam unrest

Dozens of people armed with sticks and firecrackers set a tram on fire in Amsterdam on Monday, police said.

It was not clear whether the unrest was related to attacks on Israeli football fans last week.

Also on Monday, police made several additional arrests related to the attacks.

It comes a day after riot police broke up a pro-Palestinian protest on Dam Square.

The tram caught fire at the ’40-’45 Square in western Amsterdam, according to a police spokesman. The windows of the tram were also shattered.

The spokesman said that no one was injured in the incident, as the tram had been empty.

Police said the fire was quickly extinguished and riot officers cleared the square, making several arrests.
