Arrest made in Minneapolis mosque fires that rattled Muslims

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) β€” Minneapolis police have arrested a man suspected of setting two fires that damaged mosques in the city last week as part of what the police chief called β€œan attempt to inflict terror onto our Muslim community.” Police Chief Brian O’Hara announced the arrest of 36-year-old Jackie Rahm Little early Sunday, but didn’t provide details of how he was apprehended. Little was charged with second-degree arson after the fires were set on April 23 and 24 and an arrest warrant was issued. The head of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations praised the arrest after the fires that had put the Muslim community on edge for the past week.
