| Planned Refugee Center Burned down in Sweden |
| 2015-11-08 |
| [AnNahar] A planned refugee shelter was burned down in Sweden on Saturday with police saying the fire may have been started deliberately, the latest in a string of suspected arson cases targeting a huge influx of migrants. "Several buildings were burnt, including one which witnesses say has been destroyed completely," police said in a statement. "For the moment the cause of the fire is not certain but as there are reasons to suspect it may have been started deliberately, a preliminary arson inquiry has been opened." The planned shelter, on the outskirts of the town of Floda in southwest Sweden, had yet to welcome its first residents. There were no injuries and there have been no arrests. The fire follows around a dozen confirmed or suspected cases of arson targeting migrants in Sweden this year. Total arrivals of asylum-seekers to the Scandinavian country are expected to reach up to 190,000 in 2015, the most per capita of any European nation as the continent struggles with its worst migration crisis since World War II. On Thursday the Swedish government warned that its capacity to host the refugees has reached saturation point and it cannot guarantee shelter for any new arrivals. "We are in a tense situation and we are dependent on the opening of new lodgings. It is incredibly hard when they are destroyed by a fire," migration agency spokeswoman Johanna Uhr told the Goteborgs-Posten newspaper. |

| #5 It does get a bit cold in Sweden in November. Are they sure the refugees (from considerably warmer climates) aren't setting them to stay warm? |

I'd beat we and the Canadians can send you technical help on the construction of igloos. That'll hold over winter. People pay good money for the like. Or they can move back to warmer climes. |
