The US publisher of a controversial novel about the Prophet Muhammad has closed its offices as a "precautionary action."
Beaufort Books says no threats had been received and that The Jewel of Medina will be released as planned.
Police in London say they arrested three men Saturday on suspicion of terror links relating to a fire at the home and office of publisher Martin Rynja, whose Gibson Square announced earlier this month that it would issue the book.
Beaufort took on Sherry Jones' novel after it was dropped by Random House Inc., over security concerns. The book is a fictionalized account of Muhammad and his child bride, Aisha.
