N.D. (NewsDakota.com) White supremacist Craig Cobb says he believes a fire that destroyed an abandoned church he recently bought in Nome, North Dakota was arson. The 108 year-old building is the former Nome Zion Evangelical Lutheran church. 

Cobb says it’s obvious to him that the fire was intentionally set.

Barnes County Sheriff Randy McClaflin says the state fire marshal will investigate the cause of the fire. McClaflin says the investigation is in it’s early stages.

Cobb is offering a $2,000 reward for information related to this fire. He says he considers the fire a direct threat on his life.

Cobb says there was nothing flammable in the church and there was no electricity. He says he bought the building for $8,000 and believes the total loss is doubled because he had moved in some furniture.

Cobb currently lives in Sherwood, North Dakota and says he has no plans to keep the property in Nome, North Dakota.
