London fire linked to soldier murder – police

LONDON: A fire which broke out overnight at an Islamic boarding school in Britain is suspected of being a revenge attack for last month’s murder of a soldier on a London street, the country’s top police officer said on Sunday (Monday in Manila).

Detectives are “working tirelessly” to establish whether the blaze at the Darul Uloom Islamic School in the southeast London suburb of Chislehurst was started deliberately, according to Metropolitan Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe.
