FBI release new clue in arson investigation of Miami of Cuba Travel Agency firebombing

* Good they are pursuing this, it might be a first! Let's hope people are sweating over at Versailles Restaurant on Calle 8

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (WSVN) -- The FBI has released surveillance pictures of a vehicle of interest that may be related to a fire that according to officials, was intentionally set at a local travel agency last month.

The blaze erupted on April 27 at Airline Brokers Charter located at 815 Ponce De Leon Boulevard. State Fire Investigators determined the fire was an act of arson. Officials said it looks as though someone broke a window at the business and possibly threw in molotov cocktails.

The car of interest appears to be a black sport utility vehicle. It can be seen on surveillance video in the area of the travel agency on the morning of the fire.

The owner of the agency is happy to know that investigators are still pursuing this case. "It's very encouraging to know that this is an active investigation, that it is being pursued by the federal agencies and law enforcement, and I'm sure there's more that we don't know about," said Vivian Mannerud. "I think this is a great first step in getting this out to the community and assistance in trying to identify this automobile and the person or persons responsible for this act." more at link
