Arson Attack Destroys New Austrian Refugee Center

Suspected arsonists have burned down a new refugee center in Austria near the German and Czech borders.
 
The Red Cross said 48 asylum-seekers had been expected to move into the residential center in two weeks. Authorities said the building at Altenfelden in northern Austria was deliberately set ablaze overnight.

No injuries were reported, but it took several dozen firefighters to control the flames that swept through the wood-frame building.

The Red Cross said the arson attack was a shocking act of vandalism, unlike any it had seen previously in Austria during the current refugee crisis, which has left nations across Europe struggling to cope with a swelling tide of migrants, most of them from the Middle East and Africa.
