A gang of men have been arrested after filming themselves burning a copy of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11 - and posting it on YouTube.

Six suspects were seized after allegedly setting fire to the Muslim holy book in the backyard of a pub. 

The men, who hid their faces, then posted the video of the burning on the popular website.

Police visited The Bugle last Wednesday after the video was posted online.

Two men were arrested on suspicion of stirring racial hatred, and have since been released on bail. 

On Wednesday four more Gateshead men were arrested and bailed. None were charged.
