Arson to blame for massive fire that destroyed high rise in Los Angeles

Federal investigators have blamed arson for a massive fire that destroyed a partially built apartment complex in downtown Los Angeles last week.
A hunt is now under way for those who apparently used an incendiary device to obliterate the controversial seven-storey, fortress-style Da Vinci structure.
The December 8 blaze produced apocalyptic images as 250 firefighters battled to stop it spreading onto the 110 freeway and neighbouring buildings.
“Investigators recovered sufficient evidence to eliminate all known potential accidental causes and determine the fire was intentionally set,” the LA fire department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said in a joint statement late on Thursday.
