Racist fire bomber Mark Bulman has pleaded guilty to trying to start a blaze at the Broad Street mosque.

The 22-year-old pleaded guilty to attempted arson at the Muslim place of worship as well as two counts of religiously aggravated criminal damage.

As well as admitting the race hate offences he also admitted arson when he set light to a wooden gate on Broad Street during the same night.

Bulman threw a petrol bomb through a window of the mosque during the early hours of Thursday August 17 but it failed to ignite. [Link]
