Church volunteer confesses to setting French cathedral on fire
[Aljazeera] The lawyer of a volunteer at a Gothic cathedral in western France's Nantes town said he confessed to setting the building on fire that severely damaged its 17th-century organ and blew out stained glass.
Severely damaged? It was totally destroyed.
The 39-year-old accused, an asylum seeker from Rwanda
...over 90% Christian and 2% Muslim, so it probably was the spirit of mischief rather than jihad that made him do it, or possibly schizophrenia or drugs....
who has lived in France for several years, was arrested earlier this month after laboratory analysis determined that arson was the likely cause of the blaze, the local prosecutor's office said.
They gave him asylum, but no good deed goes unpunished....
"He bitterly regrets his actions ... My client is consumed with remorse," Chabert said.

"He admitted during his first appearance for questioning before the investigating judge that he set three fires in the cathedral: at the main organ, the smaller organ, and the electrical panel," Sennes told Presse-Ocean on Sunday.

While firefighters were able to contain the Nantes blaze after just two hours and save the cathedral's main structure, the famed organ, which dated from 1621 and had survived the French Revolution and World War II bombardment, was destroyed.
Like I said.
