Edson mosque set on fire in Saturday night arson

A mosque in Edson was scorched late Saturday in what RCMP are calling a case of arson.
The mosque was set on fire at about 11 p.m. near its south entrance and burned for about 15 minutes. No one was injured in the blaze. Edson RCMP deemed the fire suspicious and are investigating it as a case of arson, RCMP said in a news release Sunday.
The fire did not cause extensive damage since the mosque was constructed with concrete to be fire-resistant. Islamic Society of Edson board member Jocelyn Petti
