A fire that destroyed a mosque under construction in Dalton is under investigation by authorities. The blaze is being called "suspicious" by officials. Fire officials say graffiti with expletives was found inside the burned-out shell of the three bedroom brick house that was to be the future home of the Dalton Islamic Center. Construction on the facility began in early December, even with opposition from local residents concerned the mosque would bring traffic problems. 80 people currently attend sevices at a smaller facility.
