A day after police say someone attempted arson at a Minneapolis mosque, this mosque half a mile away also caught fire.
Authorities say the fires may be connected and may be bias-motivated crimes.
No one was hurt in the April 24 fire at this mosque and community center, Masjid Al Rahma.
Officials say the fire here was extinguished before it spread to other floors or buildings.
One day prior, worshippers put out a small fire in a restroom at Masjid Omar Islamic Center in 24 Mall.
Surveillance video there showed a masked man entered with a large paper bag, then ran out without the bag.
Minneapolis police confirmed the same man was behind an arson attempt at the mosque last year.
Minneapolis police say the FBI has joined the investigation.
No one has been arrested as of Tuesday evening.
