More than 30 molotov cocktails and crates of rocks were found during a rooftop search in Sydney's southern suburbs last night as the city endured a second consecutive night of race-related violence.
The stockpile was discovered at south Maroubra, not far from where a mob smashed car windows on Sunday.
Cricket bats, rocks and iron bars were also confiscated by police monitoring about 100 people who gathered near Maroubra beach.
Rocks and flares were thrown at police trying to disperse the group, and a female constable was injured when a projectile struck her leg.
Police were also hit with projectiles as a crowd of about 100 people gathered for a second night in Brighton-le-Sands, in Sydney's south.
Seven people were injured, 11 men were arrested and cars and shops were trashed as a new wave of unrest hit the city overnight in apparent reprisal attacks for Sunday's race riot at Cronulla, where alcohol-fuelled mobs chased and bashed people of Middle Eastern appearance.
The trouble began last night when a group of 200 mostly Muslim men gathered at Lakemba Mosque, in Sydney's south-west, apparently after rumours that an attack on the building was imminent.
Two police cars were damaged and rubbish bins were thrown at shopfronts as officers attempted to control the crowd.
A family was forced to move out of their apartment after their five-month-old son narrowly escaped being injured when a bottle was thrown through their apartment window, shattering the glass.
At Cronulla, about 50 men arrived in cars last night before rampaging through the beach community, smashing car windows and shopfronts with baseball bats.
Gunshots were heard near the Northies Hotel, opposite north Cronulla beach, where some of the worst violence was seen on Sunday.
Six people were arrested at Cronulla and on the Kingsway, in nearby Caringbah, after shops and vehicles were attacked.
Two men and three youths were arrested at Maroubra beach after police discovered a replica pistol in the bushes.
Police said the injured included a Bexley couple attacked as they left a restaurant in Caringbah about 10pm (AEDT).
A 35-year-old Lansvale man suffered head injuries and severe facial bruising after being attacked at a youth hostel at Caringbah. He was taken to Sutherland hospital in a stable condition.
A 45-year-old Cronulla man suffered broken ribs and head injuries when he was attacked as he put his rubbish bin out on the street.
A 51-year-old Woolwooware man suffered a broken arm after he was attacked with a baseball bat at Cronulla.
Details of the seventh person's injuries could not be confirmed.
Police are braced for further violence after new text messages, including one declaring war between Sydney's Middle Eastern youths and Australians, began circulating.
The new messages follow a round of similar ones sent last week, calling for retaliation after an attack on surf lifesavers at Cronulla on December 3.
One of the new messages congratulates Australians for the fight they put up against the Lebanese at Cronulla during Sunday's riots, and called for more attacks.
"We'll show them! It's on again Sunday," The Australian newspaper reported the message said.
Another warned of retaliation from the Middle Eastern groups.
"The Aussies will feel the full force of the Arabs as one - 'brothers in arms' unite now..." it read.
Another called for "straight up WAR. The leb's/wogs won't stand for this."
Police have formed a task force to try to prevent a repeat of Sunday's riots, which have been condemned by NSW Premier Morris Iemma.

I don't know. I think the Aussies should be given the opportunity to force these culturally smug Mohammedans to conform to Aussie society and more's.
I think we need to see more of this up here.
If you read the articles carefully, they aren't real clear on who has been doing most of the beating up and destruction of property.
I agree with what you say, except that I would substitute the word "Muslim" for "Arab." There are Christian Arabs in this country who fled their homelands because of oppression from the Muslim Arab majority. The Koran teaches hatred of non-Muslims, be they Arabs, Jews, or Europeans. The "Religion of Peace" is in truth a "Religion of Submission."
Maybe the Aussies should stockpile bacon and ham and porkfat. I can think of a whole lot of "projectiles" made of hamballs.
Myself as well. I've had their feed on for about 12 hours now, and am rivited....
Time to put some "shrimps on the barbie."
I sure which the reporter would define who the injured are...
Funny how the media never connects the common thread of Islam to all of these incidents worldwide.
Yes, its very misleading because as far as I can tell everything since Sunday PM has been the Moslem 'youth' retaliating.
"At Cronulla, about 50 men arrived in cars last night before rampaging through the beach community, smashing car windows and shopfronts with baseball bats."
Base ball bats ? Shouldn't they have been cricket bats.
Again , we see that the multicultural approach is not
an effective model for those who are Muslims, because they do not want to integrate as loyal Australians.
Message: Be an Aussie and avoid the posse.
One more strike against the multicultural model in a democracy. Keep sharia at home but don't apply it to others outside, as if Aussie women are only good for raping, and Aussie homes only good for pillaging.
I am sorry it has come to this in Sydney. The liberal model of society based on non-integration has failed again.
The curious thing about this article is that you can't figure out who the attackers and who the attacked were.
I wonder just WHO made the molotov's... the aussies or the lebbies?
The Australians are not rioting, they are protecting their own.
That's what I was wondering. This is a terrible article!
susie
Anyone notice this guy in the crowd?
Actually, the Aussies have perfected the "flash mob" that the lefties invented for the RNC2004. They arrived at that beach so fast the police were caught unprepared.
Good to see at least the Australians are standing up hope they clear their Island of the muslim rubbish!
me too
The more I read this, the more that makes sense. Let me get this straight:
1. Muslim hooligans are threatening Australian women on the beach. They go beyond that to beat up two lifeguards.
2. Australian rednecks beat up Muslims and everyone else who looks Middle Eastern.
3. Muslims try to counter rally, beat up Australians. Both sides are getting sore thumbs from SMS.
Am I right?
