Alston stood in the steady rain before the blackened front and the white minarets of the house of worship as he announced the initial results of the inquiry, gathered close to city officials and congregants from the mosque. “We’ve detected that there is intent in this fire. This was intentionally set,” said Alston, who said his heart went out to those who worship at the mosque.”
