Four Attacks in Queens (NY) With Homemade Firebombs

A Fire Department official said on Monday that the series of arson attacks across eastern Queens on Sunday night could have been much worse because in most of the attacks, which are being investigated as possible bias crimes against Muslims, the damage from the firebombs was relatively minor.

“It was a good night for the F.D.N.Y. and the people of south Jamaica,” said the official, Lt. Chris Corbin, as he stood outside the scene of one of the attacks, a private home at 146-62 107th Avenue.

No one was hurt in the four attacks, in which homemade firebombs were apparently used. In three of the four attacks, the police said, Molotov cocktails were made with Starbucks bottles.

Obvious question: Can Pam Geller account for her whereabouts at the time?
