Man arrested in connection with mosque bomb attacks now quizzed over pensioner death

West Midlands Police say they are questioning one of the men they have arrested in connection with the Black Country mosque bomb attacks about the death of Mohammed Saleem.

It was the end of April when Mr Saleem was killed as he walked home from evening prayers in the Small Heath area of Birmingham.

The 75-year-old had been stabbed three times in the back.

Late last week officers arrested two men - a 25-year-old and 22-year-old from the Ukraine about the explosions near mosques in Walsall, Tipton and Wolverhampton.

On July 21st a court in London gave counter terrorism officers a further week to hold the two men.

Now the 25-year-old is also being questioned about Mr Saleem's murder - which police are calling a further act of terrorism. Mr Saleem's family have been told of the development.
