WASHINGTON - Federal law enforcement officials believe they have scored a big break with the arrests of two people believed responsible for the string of church fires in Alabama, NBC’s Pete Williams reported Wednesday.

Officials have not yet said who they are, but authorities believe they have solved the case, Williams added. The two were arrested Tuesday night.

A federal source told The Associated Press that the two suspects are young men.


The two will appear in a court in Birmingham, Ala., later Wednesday morning.

Police are also searching for a third person.

1. Those suspects will be in the B'ham courtroom within the hour.

This is what MSNBC is doing a running story on this morning. I can't wait to see the bastards' faces.

I hope the feds have the right people, and I hope they are convicted.

2. I hope they are str8 and white - actually, I hope they're tied to one

of the wingnut candidates down there to show just how unbalanced some of these people are.

3. College students, apparently

No info on a motive as yet.

I'm glad they caught these guys -- well, at least two of the three involved. They need some time behind bars -- I can't imagine any motive that would justify the burning of these churches.
