Show of solidarity set at fire-damaged Ohio mosque

Friday October 5, 2012 8:00 AM

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Muslims in the Toledo area are planning a show of solidarity after an arson fire damaged a landmark mosque.

The Islamic Center of Greater Toledo said area Muslims plan to come together for prayer on the grounds of the damaged building Friday afternoon.

An Indiana man is suspected of starting the fire at the mosque Sunday.

The Ohio fire marshal's office has said investigators believe 52-year-old Randy Linn is the person recorded by a surveillance camera outside the center. The fire caused smoke and water damage in a prayer room at the mosque, which sits along a major highway and has a golden dome that's visible for miles.
