CARY, N.C. (AP) - Authorities in North Carolina say a recent fire at a mosque was not set intentionally.

Officials said Saturday that a preliminary investigation of a fire at the Islamic Center of Cary was accidental and there was evidence it was caused by electrical sources.

Firefighters were called to the center Friday morning. No one was injured in the blaze. The mosque is under construction and was expected to be complete in 2019.
