QUEBEC — A car belonging to the president of a Quebec City mosque where six men were shot dead in January was set on fire earlier this month, police confirmed Wednesday. In a statement, the mosque said the incident occurred on Aug. 6 at about 1:30 a.m. in the driveway of Mohamed Labidi’s home. A Quebec City police spokesman, Lt. Jean-Francois Vezina, described the fire as criminal but said authorities haven’t yet determined whether it was a hate crime. Quebec City Mayor Regis Labeaume said he was shocked and “profoundly disappointed” to hear the news and said the timing was likely not a coincidence. “What happened isn’t like Quebec City,” he told reporters.
