Dutchman jailed for throwing petrol bomb at mosque
2005-05-04
THE HAGUE: A 23-year-old Dutch man was sentenced to five months in prison, three months of it suspended, by a court in Utrecht for throwing a petrol bomb at a mosque, the news agency ANP said Tuesday. The Ijsselstein mosque had already been the target of an arson attempt but the young man, who was drunk at the time, had wanted to "finish the job", according to ANP. He threw a bottle filled with petrol at the mosque as he rode past on a motorbike, but it fell short and caused no damage to the building. The attempted firebombing of the mosque occurred three days after the murder of Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh by an Islamic militant last November 2 in Amsterdam. The murder provoked a number of anti-Muslim attacks, with 120 incidents registered during the month following it.
