In an episode viewed countless times on the Internet, Asyraf Haziq Rosli, 20, sat dazed on an east London street with a broken jaw after being attacked by a mob, only to then be mugged by people pretending to help him.

the student gave a press conference thursday 11 August at the Malaysian Embassy in London and said that the mugging had resulted in him having to have a metal plate place in his jaw at the hospital. He stated that he was amazed as some of the rioters were just children

Cybersecurity pro Alastair Paterson says the rioters causing havoc on British streets benefit from the encrypted instant chat service on their BlackBerry handsets to "outwit" police
