LONDON, Aug 11: British police started investigations on Friday whether an arson attack on a mosque was linked to an alleged plot to blow up US-bound flights that saw 24, mainly Pakistani, men arrested.
Youths attacked the mosque in Blacon, northwestern England, on Thursday night. It is understood that people were inside the building when the attack occurred.
A Cheshire Police spokeswoman said an accelerant was poured through the mosque door and set alight.—AFP
