A Muslim man was arrested for torching “Neighbours” gay night club in Seattle on New Year’s Eve.
Musab Mohamed Masmari, from Benghazi, Libya, was arrested en route to the airport.
The Stranger reported:
Seattle police arrested Musab Mohamed Masmari this morning in association with the New Year’s Eve arson at Neighbours nightclub, says Detective Mark Jamieson.
The Seattle Police Department’s Arson/Bomb Squad had been working with a joint terrorism task force since the incident occurred in the early minutes of January 1, when someone poured gasoline down a flight of stairs in the packed gay bar and lit it ablaze. All 750 patrons escaped without injury.
Masmari has been arrested four times since May and that in the past he had been arrested for things like for assault and property destruction.
UPDATE: As Debbie Schlussel reported – Musab Mohamed Masmari, a Libyan-US citizen, worked as a State Department cultural ambassador at a Seattle new media center event.
