(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Vandals tried to set fire to a mosque in the northern West Bank, causing damage to the inside, Palestinian security sources said on Tuesday, blaming Jewish settlers.
The attackers set fire to a number of tyres inside the mosque in al-Mughayyir village, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) northeast of Ramallah, which damaged prayer mats inside the building.
They also spray-painted bad thing on the walls and also sprayed anti-Arab slogans on the walls, the sources said.
An army spokeswoman confirmed the mosque had been torched, saying the military administration had received a complaint from residents and had sent a team of forensic experts to search for clues.
