A mosque in south-west Missouri has been burnt to the ground a month after an arson attack on the building.

Although no injuries were reported, the building in the city of Joplin was completely destroyed by the blaze in the early hours of Monday morning. The cause of the fire is not yet known.

The FBI has released video footage of a man setting fire to the roof of the mosque on Independence Day last month. The authorities have offered a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
