BROADGREEN community leaders have met emergency services and local politicians for a fourth time over the Broad Street firebombing.

It has now been almost two weeks since Abdul Rahim's house was struck by a second arson attack.

Police are continuing with their enquiries, which are focused on the theory that the occupants of the house were specifically targeted.

Police have said there is no indication that the attacks were racially motivated.

Superintendent Kevin Maidment said: "The idea of these meetings is to share information with the community and hopefully to elicit information.

"We want to reassure the community and show them that we are listening to them."

Enum Chowdhury, secretary general of the Swindon Bangladeshi Association, said the meetings reflect a change in the way police are interacting with the community.

He said: "The police have shown that they understand the importance of getting together with the community to discuss the events that are facing us."

Derique Montaut (Lab, Central) said: "Our job is to continually reflect the community needs.

"It's excellent to see the police engaging so well with the community."

Mr Rahim and his family have been forced to live in a hotel following the firebomb attack, which has left their home uninhabitable.

A petrol bomb was thrown through a window in the house on February 1.

Mr Rahim, his wife and two daughters were all in the house at the time.

His wife and eldest daughter were rescued by firemen and all four were treated for smoke inhalation.

Mr Rahim told the Adver he had no idea why anyone would want to harm him or his family.

Last Friday, police officers took to the streets exactly a week after the attack in a bid to find any witnesses to the arson.

Anyone who has any information regarding the Broad Street firebombing should contact Supt Maidment at Gablecross police station on 0845 408 7000.
