A Florida man pleaded no contest and was sentenced on Monday to 30 years in prison for setting fire last year to the mosque where Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen once worshipped, court officials said.
Joseph Schreiber, 32, caused more than $100,000 in damage to the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, which he set ablaze on Sept. 11, 2016, the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, authorities said.
The crime also coincided with the Muslim holy day of Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice.
No one was hurt, but the fire forced the congregation to relocate prayer services as it seeks a new home.
