Mosque fire kills imam’s children

ABHA: A son and a daughter of Sheikh Ahmed Al-Hawashi, imam and khateeb of Noorain Mosque in Khamis Mushayt, died on Tuesday in a fire that broke out at the imam’s residence that was attached to the mosque.

Al-Hawashi has called for an investigation into the fire that killed his two children — Anas, 2, and Tasneem, 4 — while they were preparing to celebrate Eid and injured a Civil Defense officer and four others.

The imam suspected that the fire was a criminal attack on the mosque. He added that there was a similar attempt seven months ago. He ruled out suggestions that an electricity short-circuit might have caused the fire.

Maj. Muhammad Al-Asimi, spokesman of the Civil Defense in Asir province, said the department’s operations room received information about the fire at 9:30 a.m., adding that seven fire-fighting units had been sent to put out the blaze.

He identified the four injured civilians as two Egyptians, a Bangladeshi and a Saudi.

Al-Asimi said security officers have launched an investigation to determine the reasons that caused the fire that had gutted part of the mosque including the imam’s home, prayer hall for women and its library.

Asir Gov. Prince Faisal bin Khaled yesterday visited the home of Sheikh Al-Hawashi and conveyed his condolences on the death of the imam’s two children. He was accompanied by Maj. Gen. Ali Al-Hazmi, director of police in the region, and other senior officials.
