Arson is suspected in a
fire that broke out at former US president Bill Clinton's birthplace early
Friday morning, damaging the historical site, police said. "It's pretty logical
it was purposely set," J.R. Wilson, the police chief in Hope, Arkansas,
told AFP.
The
blaze ran up an exterior back wall of the white frame house where Clinton spent
the first few years of his life, but the damage was minor, Wilson said.
A
motorist reported the blaze in the early hours of Friday, which is Christmas
Day, and police and fire crews arrived within minutes.
