BY TIM REID OF THE LONDON TIMES

   HUNDREDS of plainclothes police carried out early
   morning raids yesterday on suspected racists in London.
   The huge Scotland Yard operation showed its
   determination to stamp out racial violence in the wake of
   the Stephen Lawrence report.

   A hundred people were arrested across the capital and
   Home Counties. Among those held were suspected
   football hooligans featured in a recent undercover
   investigation by the BBC.

   The raids, which began at 6am, were part of Operation
   Athena, a Metropolitan Police campaign against racist
   crime co-ordinated by the force's Racial and Violent
   Crime Task Force, created last year after Sir William
   Macpherson's critical report into the death of Stephen
   Lawrence.


"...With liberty and justice for all".
