British Prime Minister David Cameron has cut short his vacation and is recalling Parliament following a third night of unrest across Britain. More than 450 people have been arrested in the largest street riots and looting Britain has seen in decades. Armored vehicles are now patrolling parts of London. Fires burned through the night in several sections of the city. Rioting has spread to Liverpool, Birmingham and Bristol. Riots first broke out on Saturday night in the north London section of Tottenham following a vigil for Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old black man shot dead by police. British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg rejected links between Duggan’s death and the riots.

British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg: “The violence we saw last night had absolutely nothing to do with the death of Mr. Duggan. It was needless, opportunistic theft and violence, nothing more, nothing less, and it is completely unacceptable. And the people who have suffered are those who’ve lost their businesses, shopkeepers who have lost their shops, families who have lost their homes, and of course many people who have felt very frightened in their own neighborhoods. And that’s why this government stands side by side with those people in those communities who utterly condemn the violence and the theft.”
