FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Buffalo, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 4, 2012 -- NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York City man faces arson and bias charges after confessing on Tuesday to a series of Molotov cocktail attacks that hit a mosque and a Hindu nike air max 2009

womens nike air max place of worship and unsettled civic leaders concerned the actions might portend violent religious bigotry.

The suspect, who has not been identified by name, is a 40-year-old unemployed tow-truck driver who appeared to have been motivated by personal grudges, said a law enforcement familiar with the investigation who was speaking on condition of anonymity.
The suspect, who is originally from Guyana and lives in the Jamaica section of Queens where four of the attacks took place, also made "broadly anti-Muslim statements" during cheap nike free run

He chose the mosque after being refused access to the facility's bathroom, and he mistook one of the private residences as the home of a "crack dealer" with whom he had a dispute, the official said.

Another of the targets was a private residence where Hindu services were held, but that may have been a coincidence. The suspect had a years-old dispute with someone who may discount air jordan

Police earlier had announced a "person of interest" in the investigation was being questioned, then later said he had been arrested upon confessing to the firebomb attacks.
"The individual is implicating himself in each of the five firebombing cases, citing personal grievances with each location," said police spokesman Paul Browne.

The arson attacks drew condemnation from religious and civic leaders of various backgrounds who joined New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly for a news conference before the confession was reported.
"Fear mongering about Islam and other American minorities cheap air jordans

One of the firebombs hit the mosque entrance at the Imam al-Khoei Foundation, a Shiite organization in the New York City borough of Queens while some 75 to 80 people were inside.

No injuries were reported but one of the private homes suffered severe fire damage.
"When everyone else was enjoying their New Year's Day, this villain comes in and wants to make life miserable for us," said Muhsin Alidina, a program coordinator at the Islamic center who was in the mosque at the time of the attack.
"Thank goodness it was also raining, so presumably discount air jordan

The suspect's grievances with the convenience store may have started on December 27 when a clerk confronted a man thought to have being trying to steal a Starbucks Frappuccino, police said.
"When they were pushing him out of the store, he said words to the effect of, 'We're going to get even. We're going to get back at you,'" Kelly said before the confession was reported.

The appointment was announced as four fighters were killed in a gun battle between rival militias in Tripoli, underlining the interim government's difficulties in controlling the increasingly fractious groups who toppled Muammar Gaddafi.
More than two months after he was captured and killed, real power remains in the hands of the militias, who have carved up Libya and its capital into competing fiefdoms, each holding christian louboutin cheap

To help reinstate law and order, the interim government plans to integrate thousands of former rebels in the military, the police and other civilian jobs. Some militia chiefs say they will only cede command of their fighters once an organized military and security apparatus is in place.
Manqoush's appointment by National Transitional Council chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil could pave the way toward forming a structured military. But it is not clear yet whether militia commanders will accept him.

His prospects could be boosted by the fact that he hails from Misrata, besieged for months by Gaddafi's forces and home to a number of the militias that helped to topple him and Discount Tiffany Necklaces

DEADLINE TO LEAVE
Militias were given a December 20 deadline to leave the capital and have dismantled most of their checkpoints and limited their presence on Tripoli's streets, but crucially kept some bases.

Tuesday's battle on Tripoli's Zawiya road was the first involving militias since December 11, when soldiers from the new national army failed to wrest control of Tripoli's international airport from a militia force from Zintan.

"Some of them screamed 'We're from Misrata, you dogs!' while they were firing," said another Tripoli fighter. "They wanted to take them (the prisoners) by force, they used 106mm (rocket) launchers and 14mm machine guns."
Afterwards armed men combed central Tripoli looking for Misratan fighters. A Reuters witness saw them capture one man, and kick and punch him as he was marched into the compound.
A pickup truck daubed with the words 'The Defence Brigade, Misrata Revolutionaries' lay across the highway, riddled with bullets and with blood stains on the back seat. One fighter said 11 militiamen from Misrata had been captured.
Vehicles carrying dozens of fighters and heavy caliber machine guns blocked roads leading to the compound and snipers were stationed on rooftops.
