ANCHORAGE, Alaska " A federal agency says an accelerant was poured around the exterior of Gov. Sarah Palin's home church in multiple locations, including entrances.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says evidence collected at the scene of the arson fire Friday at the Wasilla Bible Church has been taken to a lab.

ATF Special Agent Nick Starcevic says tests will determine what the accelerant was. He doesn't have a timeframe for when tests will be completed.

Church officials estimate damage at $1 million after Friday's fire. No one was injured.
