Prosecutors say Chamel Abdulkarim intentionally set multiple fires inside a Kimberly‑Clark warehouse in Ontario, California, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Investigators allege he filmed himself igniting pallets and later bragged about the destruction, comparing himself to arsonist Luigi Mangione. Abdulkarim faces federal and state arson charges, including aggravated arson for damage exceeding $10 million. Authorities are still examining motive, though messages recovered from his phone referenced anger over workplace issues.
