Arson Suspect Charged in Attacks on Minneapolis Mosques

  • Minneapolis police arrested Jackie Rahm Little, 36, and charged him with second-degree arson for allegedly setting fires that damaged two mosques last week.
  • Little has a known history of arson and was identified on surveillance footage entering one of the mosques shortly before a fire erupted.
  • The fires were condemned as "an attempt to inflict terror onto our Muslim community" by the Minneapolis police chief.
  • If convicted, Little faces a minimum of five years in prison for the federal arson charges.
  • The local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations hopes to determine Little's motivations and whether he had any accomplices.
