Witnesses report on Ku Klux Klan

Police in Scotland were studying security camera videos to try to identify two men who left Ku Klux Klan leaflets on cars to recruit people into the racist organisation. A spokesman for Fife police said last night that no one saw who left the leaflets in Arbroath, Tayside, last week, but witnesses in Cupar, 20 miles south-west, reported seeing two men distributing them in a car park on the same afternoon. "There were surveillance cameras in the area and we are now examining what they show," he said. The Klan, which was established in the United States deep south, is believed to have cells in London and the Midlands and its arrival in Scotland coincides with a series of racist attacks.
