Hate Crime

A fire at a Bloomington mosque early Saturday is being investigated as a hate crime by the FBI and members of its Joint Terrorism Task Force.

The incident took place at the Islamic Center of Bloomington, where a ground-floor window was broken and an incendiary device was used to start a fire, an official of the mosque said.

FBI Agent Wendy Osborne confirmed that the FBI "received information on an attempted arson or some type of fire that occurred in Bloomington."

1. Someone should start tracking these. That UCC fire just happened, too.

I wonder if this is an organized effort.

2. Good Point

Bloomington is a very diverse city,mainly due to the college being there. But there are still a lot of small town rednecks that still live in the local community.
