A New York City man confessed to a series of Molotov cocktail attacks that hit a mosque and a Hindu place of worship, police said on Tuesday.
The case was being investigated as a possible hate crime and drew strong condemnation from religious leaders of various backgrounds throughout the city.
Police declined to identify the suspect, who was taken into custody early on Tuesday as a “person of interest” based on eyewitness reports and a surveillance video that may have placed his car at the scene of at least two of the five places that were firebombed on Sunday.
