Police in US search house near Islamic centre burned after arrest of alleged bomb plotter - Winnipeg Free Press
Police in Oregon are investigating a man who lived near a mosque that was set ablaze days after a worshipper there allegedly planned to blow up a car at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
Authorities this week searched a home near the Salman Alfarisi Islamic Center in Corvallis, confiscated a variety of goods and took DNA swabs from 24-year-old Cody Crawford, who lived at the home with his mother, according to official documents.
The house was searched Monday, a day after someone tried to burn the centre 200 feet (60 metres) away, according to an affidavit. An officer asked Crawford why someone might burn the mosque. “Because they don’t like Muslims,” he was quoted as saying.
