UK: Man held over 2 fire attacks on people leaving mosques

LONDON (AP) — British police say a man arrested on suspicion of setting a man on fire in the central English city of Birmingham has been linked to a similar attack in London last month. Police arrested a suspect Tuesday in Birmingham after a man walking home from a mosque was approached and sprayed with an unknown substance. His jacket was set alight and he suffered serious injuries. The incident followed a similar one on Feb. 27 in London, when the suspect doused a separate victim in petrol before setting him alight using a lighter. The victim was hospitalized for severe burns to his face and arms. The suspect has not been named. He was suspected of two counts of attempted murder.
