An Islamic center in Corvallis, Oregon that was occasionally attended by Mohamed Osman Mohamud, the suspect in a failed bombing plot in Portland, was damaged by an arson fire believed to have been targeted due to Mohamud's worship there. No one was injured in the contained fire. The center's imam and members decried the alleged arson attack and acknowledged some ignorance and perception could lead to most Muslims being blamed.

9. Arson at Oregon Bomb Plot Suspect Mohamed Osman
Mohamud's Mosque
CORVALLIS, Ore. (CBS/KVAL/AP) Anger over a Somali-born teen's failed plan to blow up a van full of explosives during Portland's
Christmas tree lighting ceremony erupted in arson on Sunday when a fire damaged an Islamic center frequented by the suspect, authorities
said.
Police don't know who started the blaze or exactly why, but they believe the Islamic center in Corvallis was targeted because terror suspect
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, occasionally worshiped there.
Yosof Wanly, the imam at the Salman Alfarisi Islamic Center, said he was advised by friends to take his family out of their home because of
the potential threat of hate crime, and members decried the alleged arson attack. No one was injured, and the fire was contained to one
room.
"We know how it is," Wanly said. "We know some people due to ignorance are going to perceive of these things and hold most Muslims
accountable."
According to CBS affiliate KVAL, the FBI is working closely with the leaders at the center as agents investigated the fire. A $10,000
reward was offered for information leading to an arrest.
Mohamud was being held on charges of plotting to carry out a terror attack in Portland. He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
On Friday, he parked what he thought was a bomb-laden van near the ceremony and then went to a nearby train station, where he dialed a
cell phone that he believed would detonate the vehicle, federal authorities said. Instead, federal authorities moved in and arrested him. No
one was hurt.
Authorities have not explained how Mohamud, an OSU student until he dropped out on Oct. 6, became so radicalized. Mohamud
graduated from high school in Beaverton, although few details of his time there were available Saturday.
