FBI: 'No indication' suspect in Dearborn mosque fire motivated by politics, ideology

DEARBORN, Mich. — The FBI announced there was "no indication" a suspect accused of starting a fire at the Al-Huda Islamic Center mosque and firing at Dearborn officers outside was politically or ideologically motivated.

Josh Hauxhurst, special agent for the FBI's Detroit office, told a crowd of more than 150 people gathered inside the Dearborn mosque on Saturday there was no evidence that suspect Ahmed Taqi, who was killed in the attack by police, acted as part of a group either.

"He may be the only person who knows why he set the fire," Hauxhurst told the members of the Al-Huda community, faith leaders from across the region and members of the public and media who gathered Saturday.
