Minneapolis man charged with arson after two mosque fires in two days

A Minneapolis man was charged Thursday with arson, accused of starting fires that damaged two of the city's mosques over consecutive days this week, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Jackie Rahm Little faces one count of second-degree arson for the most recent fire, which on Monday evening burned the third floor of the Mercy Islamic Center, which houses the Masjid Al Rahma mosque.

The fires rattled Minnesota's Muslim community. At a news conference Tuesday, a dozen community leaders decried what many fear were attacks motivated by Islamophobia.
