London: Police have detained three suspected terrorists after an arson attack at the London home of the publisher of a novel about Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
Publisher Martin Rynja's house in North London was set on fire on Saturday. Rynja was unhurt and the fire was quickly put out.
Rynja is director of Gibson Square, an independent publishing house which earlier this month announced it planned to release The Jewel of the Medina in Britain.
The Sherry Jones novel on the relationship of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and his wife Aishawas pulled by publishers in the US and Serbia over fears it would anger Muslims.
