Mosque in Missouri burns to the ground one month after arson attack - U.S. News

By Kari Huus, NBC News

A mosque in Joplin, Mo. that was targeted by an arsonist on July 4 burned to the ground on Monday.
The fire at the Islamic Society of Joplin was reported around 3:30 a.m. by a person driving past the building, said Bridget Patton, spokesperson for the FBI in Kansas City, Mo.

The FBI recently offered a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment of a suspected arsonist who was captured on surveillance video throwing a lit object onto the roof of the Islamic Society of Joplin. That suspect in that fire, which did not penetrate the building's interior, is still at large.The building, which was completely destroyed by the fire, was vacant at the time. There were no injuries, Patton said.

Saw the title and first thought after the disappointment that someone would do such a thing to others is that the fire was burning a long time if the arson attack was on the Fourth of July.
