Argentina looting spreads across Argentina -Saturday Dec 22,2012


Argentine TV showed images of people - many of them with their faces covered - throwing stones at the police and trying to break into shops and supermarkets.







The attacks stir memories of the violence witnessed during Argentina's economic crisis in 2001 when unemployed people stormed supermarkets.
Attacks were reported in the industrial cities of Campana and Zarate, in Buenos Aires province, in Resistencia in the north and outside a Carrefour supermarket in San Fernando, on the outskirts of the capital.


''This is probably triggered by the difficult situation the people of Argentina are facing. I cannot imagine that this has been organised by someone," said Hugo Moyano, head of the powerful CGT union.
