Labour councillors car “firebombed”

Quote:

OLDHAM Council leader Cllr Arooj Shah's car was "firebombed" in a shocking attack in the early hours of today.

Police were called to the Glodwick area just before 1.30am after reports of a vehicle on fire.

Emergency services arrived and firefighters put out out the blaze.

No-one was hurt in the incident but minor damage was caused to a nearby property.

Cllr Shah will not be commenting about the incident at the moment, the council has said.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) confirmed the fire is being treated as arson with detectives investigating.

Shocking

Fortunately no one injured although a property damaged according to news.

It's really worrying, if they can get to a vehicle they can get to an individual too.
Scary

What a nightmare for her.

I feared that not long ago Dezzy.
In that by election.

I agree, I think you are spot on absolutely.
