DAILY STAR: Fears of a race war grew yesterday after right-wing extremists were accused of firebombing a mosque.
The Call To Islam Education Centre was gutted in a blaze which local Muslims have called an act of terrorism.
And they claim the attack in Luton, Beds, was revenge for a protest by a Muslim hate mob against returning Brit soldiers in the town in March.
Farasat Latif, the centre’s secretary, said: “We strongly condemn this violent Islamaphobic attack on our mosque. We believe that this attack was carried out by far-right extremists, an attack that could have led to many deaths.
“Over 90 children attend our centre daily. Had this happened at a different time, the results would have been catastrophic.”
Detectives have examined CCTV footage of two hooded men running to a car seconds after the midnight explosion. >>> By Ross Kaniuk | Wednesday, May 6, 2009
