Rewards totaling $10,000 are offered in the investigation of the fires that damaged or destroyed five rural churches along winding country roads south of Birmingham.
Gov. Bob Riley said a $5,000 reward was being offered by the state, and a $5,000 reward was posted by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Investigators think someone drove along rural roads Friday and stopped to ignite the fires in successive sanctuaries.
