Disturbances have erupted for a sixth successive night in an immigrant quarter of Amsterdam, with four cars set on fire, Dutch police said.
A police spokesman say the fires brought the total number of burnt cars to 11.
The unrest started last weekend after police shot dead a Moroccan who had stabbed and injured two officers.
The 22-year-old had been undergoing treatment for psychiatric problems and had in the past been questioned over contacts with Islamic militants linked to the murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh.
The Netherlands is home to about 1 million Muslims out of a population of 16 million. Most live in the big cities.

The Trouble with Islam
According to Robert Spencer, the problem with Islam is not “radical” Islam, for which an imagined “moderate” Islam is the solution, but Islam itself. While that may be true in the Islamic world, it is not what threatens us. The problem with Islam for the West is the West.
