 Vanguard Online Edition : Five Anambra councils ask court to compel Obasanjo, IG to arrest and prosecute arsonists
According to them, if both the president and his inspector-general of police are abandoning their constitutional duties, it is the duty of the court to so compel them upon an application to the effect.
Praying the court not to discountenance their prayer, they warned that should they be denied leave to compel the duo of the president and the police boss to prosecute the arsonists, there could be a large-scale breach of the fragile peace in the state.
They specifically contended that the people of the state were already boiling over the indifference of the constitutional authourities to take concrete step to bring to justice the masterminds of the arson in the state, adding that if care was not taken, the state might witness another round of more violent free for all.

 Buffalo News - Arsonists strike Paris as unrest continues in France   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The violence, initially concentrated in neighborhoods northeast of Paris with large immigrant populations, has spread across France during the past 10 nights, extending west to the rolling fields of Normandy and south to resort cities on the Mediterranean.
The unrest is forcing France to confront long-simmering anger in its suburbs, where many Africans and their French-born children live on society's margins, struggling with unemployment, poor housing, racial discrimination, crime and a lack of opportunity.
But in a new development, arsonists were moving beyond their heavily policed neighborhoods to attack others with less security, Hamon said.

WASHINGTON -- Fire investigators said yesterday that the arsonists who set fire to more than a dozen unoccupied houses in Charles County, Md., on Monday tried to torch 11 other houses in the subdivision.
Officials released a lot-by-lot account of the predawn incident that showed fires were set or attempted in 30 structures along four streets of the Hunters Brooke subdivision near the Southern Maryland community of Indian Head.
Investigators said the arson attempts probably failed because the accelerant did not light or the arsonists lacked the time to ignite all 30.

These and dozens of other botanical projects came to a fiery end in May when arsonists, claiming to be members of the self-styled "ecoterrorist" group Earth Liberation Front (ELF), torched the Center for Urban Horticulture, causing about $2 million in damage and destroying years of research.
On the same day, ELF also burned an office and destroyed a fleet of trucks at a tree farm in Oregon that the arsonists claimed was growing hybrid poplars.
The ELF said it had targeted Bradshaw's work at the University of Washington specifically because the researcher "continues to unleash mutant genes into the environment that is [sic] certain to cause irreversible harm to forest ecosystems," the group stated in a "communiqué" issued in June.

The fires have been brought under control but police and fire authorities are appealing to the public to look out for any suspicious fire activity.

A fire that damaged the football stadium in Connellsville Tuesday evening is the 23rd suspicious fire to strike that community since October 2003.
But Connellsville Police Chief Stephen Cooper said he doesn't believe that a single arsonist is responsible for the string of fires, mostly in vacant structures.

Further in the article, it is reported that "[t]he agency said it was adding murder and racketeering convictions to the list of crimes [that will disqualify an applicant for the special permit].
To counter this perception, perhaps, the TSA is saying that arsonists would be given permits after they've been out of prison for 7 years.

 The Firemen and the Arsonists (Jock L. Falkson) January, 2003
It boggles the mind that sensible people who ordinarily understand right from wrong, seem to be so misguided when it comes to judging Israel's right of defense against the Palestinians' "right" to kill us - in their crimes against humanity.
If it weren't for the arsonists (read Palestinian terrorists) there'd be no need for the firemen (read Israel Defense Forces) to put out the fires.
In this analogy no one should be confused about the respective roles of the arsonists and the firemen.
