Missouri Mosque Burns to the Ground in 2nd Recent Fire 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
A mosque in Joplin, Missouri, has burnt to the ground after suffering
its second fire in just over a month. The Islamic Center of Joplin was
set ablaze in the early hours of Monday morning. Firefighters were
unable to contain the fire in time, leaving the mosque completely
destroyed. The mosque had already been damaged on July 4 when an
arsonist was videotaped throwing an ignited object onto its roof. The
arsonist was never apprehended. The FBI is joining local police in
investigating the latest fire.
