The three - salesman Abrar Mizra, 22; cab driver Abbas Taj, 30; and Ali Beheshti, 40 - were arrested Saturday near the north London home and office of Martin Rynja, who plans to publish "The Jewel of Medina," police said.
They were arrested after a fire broke out at Rynja's building, but police have refused to disclose any details.
The men were charged with plotting to endanger life and damage property. Beheshti was also charged with possessing a weapon. All three are due to appear in court Friday.

Ironically they are probably drawing attention to the book which will make it more widely read than if they had done nothing.
