"Police lured to the area"
Assistant Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police Graham Maxwell said on todays press conference the rioting was "criminal
activity, pure and simple".
He described it as "a premeditated
attack on police". He said officers had been lured to the area by reports
of a petrol bomb attack, no evidence of which had been found. According to
Maxwell, six people have been arrested. A full investigation is under way.
