THE GUARDIAN: Police say two arrested after fire at Grimsby Islamic centre, while mosque chairman reports being attacked by petrol bombs
A mosque chairman has described how he was inside an Islamic cultural centre with a young family when it was hit by a suspected arson attack.
The Grimsby Islamic Cultural Centre was allegedly targeted by petrol bombs on Sunday night, despite an increased police presence in the area following another attack on the complex three days ago.
Humberside police said a fire was started at the centre on Weelsby Road shortly before 10pm. No one was injured. Two people were arrested by officers patrolling in the area.
The chairman of the mosque, Diler Gharib, told the Grimsby Telegraph: "We had just finished our prayers and were discussing how to thank our neighbours for the support they have shown us over the past few days when we heard a bang and saw fire coming under the door. » | Press Association | Monday, May 27, 2013
