Athens mosque set on fire
From Zee News of India and Radio Netherlands
Unknown assailants tried to burn down a makeshift mosque in Athens today, injuring five Bangladeshi migrants who suffered burns and respiratory problems in the attack, police said. The attackers broke the windows of a basement flat used as a mosque early today morning and threw gasoline inside before lighting it, a police source said.
Four Bangladeshi men suffered respiratory problems and a fifth was burned, police said. All were initially taken to hospital but later discharged.
The incident followed clashes in Athens between Muslim immigrants and Greek police during protests sparked by allegations that a police officer tore up and stamped on a Koran during an identity check earlier in the week. Hundreds of Muslims, most of them of Afghan and Pakistani origin, took to the streets.
