A Muslim community center located next to a mosque in Worcester, United Kingdom, was firebombed on Thursday morning in what the Worcester Muslim Welfare Association described as a “deliberate act of arson.” Video footage from surveillance cameras appears to show a suspect starting a fire near the building before running away while the flames intensified. Officials have not yet released further details about the suspect. The incident occurred shortly before a planned far-right march in Worcester on Saturday, prompting concerns about safety and community tensions.
