A MAN launched a firebomb attack today against an asylum-seeker facility in Dover before killing himself, according to reports. 

The alleged attacker is said to have driven up to the Western Jet Foil centre, where small boat arrivals are first taken after landing on Britain’s shores, this morning. 

He then got out of his car and hurled several petrol bombs with fireworks attached at the centre, a photographer for Reuters, who witnessed the incident, reported. The agency also reported that the man then killed himself.
