On 11 October 2016, a fire was deliberately set at the Malmö Muslim community centre in Malmö, Sweden, which housed a mosque. There were no injuries and only minor damage. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack. A Syrian resident of Malmö was arrested, tried and acquitted and the incident was deemed to be arson, but not terrorism. In June 2017, a man was arrested in Germany, accused of working for the ISIS-related news agency, Amaq. Police claim he had contacted the accused before and after this attack in order to report back to Amaq.
