Stuttgart, Dhu-AlHijjah 15, 1437, Sep 17, 2016, SPA -- Five people have been taken to hospital with complications resulting from smoke inhalation after a migrant home was deliberately set on fire in southern Germany on Saturday. According to dpa, authorities in the city of Erbach are investigating the exact motivation for the fire and looking for potential suspects, a police spokesman said. The fire at the housing unit, which provides shelter to 26 migrants and homeless people, started after paper, cardboard and clothes were set alight. The number of arson attacks on asylum seekers' homes across the country has risen steadily over the past 18 months after Chancellor Angela Merkel's promise of sanctuary brought around 1.1 million migrants to Germany in 2015. --SPA 18:36 LOCAL TIME 15:36 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
