Charges ruled out over Koran burning

The West Midlands Crown Prosecution Service said it had also decided to take no action against a 14-year-old boy who made threats about the girl on a social networking site.

In a statement, the CPS said there was sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction against each teenager, but prosecutions would not be in the public interest.

The girl has not been named but is known to attend a school in the Sandwell area of the West Midlands.

She was arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred on November 19 after posting footage of the Koran burning on Face- book.
