Man dies of the wounds he caught in a fire in the Gothenburg landmark The America House, "Amerikahuset".
Several buildings around Gothenburg were on fire on friday night and saturday early morning. The America House was saved by fire fighters but one mans life couldn´t be saved. He died at a hospital.
The police suspects that some of the fires (the fire in the America House was not mentioned here in the source) were caused by arson.
A burning object were tossed in through a crashed window at a company selling used up-scale mostly German cars, according to police officer Göran Carlbom. One vehicle was destroyed.
Media has not reported that the fire in The America House, which were reported to the fire-department around 05.00 in the morning, were caused by arson. Police are investigating the cause of the fire, which started at the attict.
The America House is one of Gothenburgs först monumental buildnings. It was raised in 1919 and has been used as a storage for Swedish American Line . It was renovated a couple of years ago and some of the space was turned into habitual appartments, others into offices. Some photos of the buildnings exterior and apparently beautiful interior can be seen here.
Media has as far as this blog knows not been speculating about if any of the fires are an act of terrorism. If The America House was targeted because of it´s obvious symbolic link to USA, perhaps it should. The fires took place two days after the movie Fitna was released, and media has not speculated about any correlation to this issue either. Furthermore, media seems to not have speculated about if the fires were started (assuming they were caused by arson) by a single person or a single group of persons.
