Switzerland - Geneva synagogue fire "was arson".

A fire that gutted a synagogue in Geneva last week was caused by arson, a Swiss judge has said.
Investigating magistrate Michel Graber said all leads were being followed - including the possibility that extremists were involved.
Investigators are hoping to take DNA samples from a cigarette butt found at the scene, the judge added.
No-one was hurt in the fire, which charred the inside of the Hekhal Hanes synagogue and blackened its facade.
Other parts of the synagogue, built in the Malagnou district during the 1970s, were severely damaged by water used to extinguish the fire.
A Geneva-based group representing Switzerland's French-speaking Jewish communities, Cicad, said it had been very concerned by the "odious" attack, but added that it did not necessarily represent an escalation of anti-Semitic activity in the country.
"The investigation has not yet been able to determine whether this act was anti-Semitic," it said in a statement.
