(France) Paris: Petrol attack on actress in Muslim-themed play
-- Daily Telegraph: "An actress was doused with petrol in Paris in an attack thought to be related to her role in a feminist play she wrote about Algerian women."
-- "The 45-year-old, who goes by the name of Rayhana, said two men approached her while she was walking to the theatre on Tuesday, grabbed her from behind, slapped her face and poured petrol on her. 'I could smell the petrol. A flame brushed my hat and then I ran,' she said."
-- "Rayhana is starring in At My Age, I Still Hide to Have a Smoke, a play she wrote about a group of women who chat about their lives during a visit to an Algiers spa. The sell-out play features unflattering views on Muslim men."
-- "In the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s attack, the actress said she had received threats and complained to police."
