Arson suspect arrested in connection with Minneapolis mosque fires.

A man suspected of setting fire to two mosques in South Minneapolis last week while there were people worshiping inside them is now in federal custody. The suspect, Jackie Rahm Little, is facing felony arson charges for both fires, which occurred over about a 24-hour period at two mosques about a block apart in the Philips neighborhood. Investigators believe that Little was responsible for two other incidents that may have been motivated by anti-Muslim bigotry: vandalism of the Minneapolis office of Congressional Rep. Ilhan Oman, and of the squad car used by a Somali police officer in Minneapolis. Little has a past arrest for another arson in 2021, along with a history of mental health issues in recent years.
