Fire Ravages Empty Bldg. for Refugees in Sweden; Sweden Has Seen 20 Arson Fires in Recent Weeks

Swedish authorities say an empty building intended to house refugees was burned to the ground today (November 7, 2015) in southwestern Sweden, the latest suspected arson fire to hit asylum centers or buildings being renovated for refugees, according to the Newsmax website.

Police in Vastra Gotaland say they suspect today's blaze that raged through a cluster of buildings and destroyed one completely to be arson.

Earlier today, a center housing unaccompanied children in southern Sweden had its windows smashed and anti-foreigner slogans sprayed on it.

In recent weeks, the Scandinavian country has seen over 20 arson attacks as an influx of refugees has surged. Sweden says migration authorities are overstretched and up to 190,000 asylum-seekers are expected to arrive this year.
