Libyan teen to be sentenced for arson threat

A Libyan teenager who threatened to follow an employee of the Refugee Reception and Integration Office home and burn down her house after his request for accommodation was refused has had his sentence adjourned.

Hisham Ali Saad (aged 19) became frustrated and overwhelmed at the asylum system following his arrival in Ireland alone a year ago after his brother was shot dead during an anti-Gadaffi protest in Libya.
