Sweden: Mosque attacked

A fire was set to a mosque in Stromsund, located in the basement of an apartment block. The mosque serves as a local prayer center for Muslim in the neighborhood, comprised of mostly immigrants and refugees from Uzbekistan. Police found burned cartoons inside, and are taking the case very seriously, taking into consideration the possibility that the mosque fire may have been a hate crime. However, currently it is classified as attempted arson. Friday prayers have been set up in a temporary location. There were no reports of any injuries from the fire.
