An investigation into a late-night blaze at Peterborough’s only mosque Saturday has determined that the fire was deliberately set. Firefighters responded to the fire at Masjid Al-Salaam at about 11 p.m. after receiving a call from a neighbor. They quickly confined the fire to the main floor of the Parkhill Rd. W and Crowley Cres.
