Jackie Rahm Little is accused of setting fires at two Minneapolis mosques and vandalizing a Congress member's office, which Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) said was hers.
The next night, smoke began to billow from the third floor of the Masjid al-Rahma mosque a few blocks south of the Somali Mall. Flames engulfed a hallway in the mosque and originated from a pile of debris and another can of gasoline, according to the affidavit. Mosque staffers rushed to evacuate the building, including about 40 children from its first-floor day care.On Sunday, the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota announced that Jackie Rahm Little had been arrested and charged with arson.
The investigation appears to have begun when the member of Congress, who is not named in court records, reported in December receiving an email with a photo of a Quran being urinated on in a toilet, according to an affidavit.The next month, Little was seen on surveillance footage attempting to shoplift spray paint from a Target in Minneapolis, the affidavit alleges.
About 10 minutes after the fire started at the Masjid al-Rahma mosque, Little was seen purchasing a red gasoline can similar to those found at the two fires and filling it with gas, according to the affidavit. Investigators did not say in the affidavit whether Little planned to start another fire.
