Investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) say a fire that started inside of a Houston mosque Friday appears to be suspicious.


Special Agent Nicole Strong of the ATF’s Houston Field Division told CNN the fire at the Islamic Center of Houston had “multiple points of origin” and “appears suspicious.”

But she also said it was also “too soon to [determine the] cause and origin” of the fire. Authorities said they will turn to surveillance cameras to try to determine the fire's cause.

The fire began shortly after afternoon prayer, during which the place was “pretty much empty,” center president M.J. Khan told CNN.

No injuries were reported in the two-alarm fire, which required about 80 firefighters to put out.

Another one of these fakes. Bet the explanation for the fire didn't get the attention the original story did.

Houston Mosque Fire Set by 'Devout' Muslim Attendee

An arson fire at a Houston mosque on Christmas Day was set by a "devout attendee" and not a Christian extremist as alleged by many on the left.

"Houston Chronicle:

A Houston man has been arrested in connection with a suspected arson at a mosque on Christmas Day.

A spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed that the man was arrested early Wednesday, sometime after midnight, and appeared in court 7 a.m. Wednesday.

The suspect, Gary Nathaniel Moore, 37, of Houston, appeared in court at 7 a.m., spokeswoman Nicole Strong said.

Though the suspect said he was a regular at the mosque, MJ Khan, president of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston, which operates the mosque, said he was unfamiliar with Moore. "We are just looking into it ourselves," he said Wednesday morning after learning of the arrest.

"We are really very surprised and saddened by this whole thing," said Khan.

Using surveillance video from multiple businesses nearby, investigators were able to identify Moore, according to records. A search warrant of his home was conducted, in which investigators recovered a backpack and clothing that seemingly matched that which was seen in surveillance footage, as well as one half of a two-pack of charcoal lighter fluid bottles that seemed to match another lighter fluid bottle found inside the mosque."
