November 07, 2015 19:14

A planned refugee shelter was burned down in Sweden today with police saying the fire may have been started deliberately, the latest in a string of

suspected arson cases targeting a huge influx of migrants.

"Several buildings were burnt, including one which witnesses say has been destroyed completely," police said in a statement.

"For the moment the cause of the fire is not certain but as there are reasons to suspect it may have been started deliberately, a preliminary arson inquiry has been opened."

The planned shelter, on the outskirts of the town of Floda in southwest Sweden, had yet to welcome its first residents. There were no injuries and there have been no arrests.
