The Latest: German police probe fire in migrant housing

BERLIN (AP) - The latest on the mass movement of asylum seekers and others seeking refuge in Europe:

11:20 a.m.

Police in northern Germany are investigating a fire at a multi-family home housing some asylum seekers as a likely arson.

Police told the dpa news agency Tuesday that the Monday night fire at the home in the town of Woldegk, about 150 kilometers (90 miles) north of Berlin, appears to have been set in the basement. Thirty-five residents, including 10 asylum seekers, were forced to leave move into temporary shelters. A 76-year-old and a 14-year-old were treated for smoke inhalation.

Police say part of their investigation is determining whether there was a "political motivation" for setting the fire.

Two cars were set ablaze in the town 10 days ago in a case that has not yet been solved.
