The mosque where Omar Mateen – the man who killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in June – prayed was attacked by arsonists on Monday, Reuters reports.

According to police reports the attack commenced some time before 12:30 am on Monday. Though Monday celebrated ‘Eid al-Ahda’ – the holiest festival in Islam – no one was hurt.

Police officials stated that a surveillance video showed a white or Hispanic man approaching the Mosque on a large – Possibly a Harley Davidson – motorbike. “The suspect got off the bike and approached the mosque carrying a bottle of liquid and papers, moments before the blaze erupted” Reuters reports.

Mateen, was killed by police immediately after carrying out the worst act of gun violence in American history, apparently pledged allegiance to Daesh in a 911 call while carrying out the attack.
