| Six stores in a strip mall were hit by an arsonist Wednesday who threw gasoline bombs through the stores' glass windows and doors, causing severe damage to the building just two years after another arson fire closed businesses there. They found it rigged with trip wires, surveillance cameras and enough explosive devices--including a 5-gallon gasoline bomb with a timer attached--to destroy the entire 200-unit townhouse development where he lived. He said protesters had thrown a gasoline bomb through a window and that the government had encouraged the demonstrations. |
