GOVERNOR PALIN’S CHURCH SET-A-BLAZE: Place of worship of former Republican vice presidential candidate damaged by fire.
Wasilla Bible Church’s damage was estimated at $1 million, authorities said Saturday. No one was injured in the fire set Friday night while people, including two children, were inside - according to Chief James Steele.
Steele said the fire is being investigated as arson and that he didn't know of any recent threats to the church. Authorities didn't know whether Palin's connection to the church was relevant to the fire, Steele said.
"It's hard to say at this point. Everything is just speculation," he said. "We have no information on intent or motive."
Pastor Larry Kroon declined to say whether the church had received any recent threats.
According to an article by David Townsend (www.ArticlesofInfo.com), Governor Palin - who was not at the church at the time of the fire - stopped by the building on Saturday.
"Whatever the motives of the arsonist, the governor has faith in the scriptural passage that what was intended for evil will in some way be used for good," a spokesperson said.
The fire was set at the entrance of the church and moved inward as a small group of women were working on crafts, Chief Steele said. The group was alerted to the flames by a fire alarm. Steele said a multi-agency task force was being assembled to investigate the fire. (Source: MSNBC/ArticlesofInfo.com)
