TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Authorities are confirming an arrest in a fire inside a landmark mosque in Ohio that investigators say was intentionally set.

The blaze broke out Sunday at the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo and caused both smoke and water damage on the second floor of the mosque that sits along Interstate 75 near Toledo.

The Blade reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/T09ggI) that an arrest was made near Fort Wayne, Ind.

Shane Cartmill, state fire marshal spokesman, tells the newspaper that investigators believe the suspect is the same person captured by a surveillance camera outside the center.

The building's gold dome is visible for miles and is a landmark in northwest Ohio.
