Arson suspect in attack on historic Mississippi synagogue admitted to antisemitic motive, FBI alleges

The charred and black interior of a building is shown, with debris on the ground.

A suspect in an arson fire at a synagogue that was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan decades ago admitted to targeting the historic institution because it’s a Jewish house of worship and confessed what he had done to his father, who turned him in to authorities after observing burn marks on his son’s ankles, hands and face, the FBI said Monday.
