Suspected arsonist arrested in southern California
I'm filing this in Local news for now. I seem to recall a threat from Al Qaeda to use wildfires as a terror attack, but every dry season seems to bring out the firebugs. So, FWIW. | Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies have arrested a 39-year-old man suspected of starting a fire near Malibu Creek State Park.
Deputy Byron Ward said Suren Sahakyan was taken into custody around 5 p.m. Saturday by deputies responding to a call that someone had started a fire on the shoulder of a road. A witness who reported seeing the incident put out the fire.
Ward said Sahakyan was was booked for investigation of arson and held on $75,000 bail.
