A POLICE investigation into the sale in Britain of a DVD appearing to glorify suicide bombers will continue today.
A 33-year-old man was arrested at Manchester Airport yesterday on suspicion of distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred.
He was later bailed.
The DVD was handed in to West Yorkshire Police by a local newspaper in December.
The disc shows a dramatisation of a girl vowing to follow in the steps of her suicide-bomber mother, set to music featuring children singing in Arabic.
All three of the DVD’s tracks are sung by children in Arabic with English subtitles.
The first video shows an Arab woman playing with her two children before leaving her home with dynamite tucked into her dress.
She is approached by uniformed soldiers and the camera pauses on her thoughtful expression before a large explosion blazes across the screen.
After finding out about the suicide on television, her small daughter finds a stick of dynamite in her mother’s wardrobe and turns to the camera with the subtitles: “My love will not be by words. I will follow my mother’s steps.”
A West Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said: “As part of ongoing inquiries into a DVD that was handed into the counter-terrorism unit in Leeds in December, officers arrested a 33-year-old man from Weetwood.
“He has now been bailed pending further inquiries.”
