Thirty-three other people were arrested and later released, according to a police spokesman, who asked not to be identified in line with department policy. A group of about 40 masked attackers burned cars and machinery at the mine after midnight on Feb. 17, using Molotov cocktails, the police said in a text message sent to reporters today.
