Bomb blast revenge attack targets Muslim school

A BOMB blast blew the front door off a Muslim elementary school in the Netherlands yesterday and extensively damaged the building in what police suspect was a revenge attack for the killing of a Dutch filmmaker last week.

No one was injured in the pre-dawn attack, which came days after the arrest of a Muslim radical accused of killing filmmaker Theo van Gogh.

There were no reports of injuries. Television news footage showed the burnt-out entrance of the school, which was empty at the time of the attack at around 3.30am (2.30 Irish time).
