POLICE were investigating yesterday after a car was set on fire near the house of a man whose details were published on a leaked BNP membership list.
Firefighters and police officers were called to the blaze in Liversedge, West Yorkshire, at 10:40pm on Thursday.
The car was parked outside a house next door to the man whose name was published but who is not a BNP member.
David Exley, Kirklees organiser for the BNP, said from the scene yesterday: "I spoke to the police this morning and they confirmed that a car has been firebombed last night and one of the lines of inquiry is the person who lives next door to the person whose car it was is on the list on the internet.
"I can confirm that the gentleman whose house the car was outside is not a member of the BNP and is not a current supporter of the BNP."
