Sweden Democrat 'set own home on fire': report

http://www.thelocal.se/41244/20120604/

A local Sweden Democrat politician who was targeted in an alleged arson attack at her home in Södermanland south of Stockholm in late August is now suspected of having lit the fire herself.

Frida Grundström, who is a member of the municipal council in Gnesta, was home alone in her apartment when the incident occurred, and the fire was extinguished quickly.

"I stood in the kitchen making pizza and had some music on. But then I heard the fire alarm and went out into the hall to see what had happened. When I came out there it was burning on the door and on the floor," Grundström told the Dagens Nyheter (DN) newspaper at the time.

The politician, who was convinced that the attack had a political motive, claimed to have also been attacked in a similar fashion on several previous occasions, including an incident when a swastika was painted on her front door.

I am not surprised, she is in the far right Sverigedemokraterna party that was voted in last election. I would not be surprised if she tried to start her own reichstag fire.
