(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) -"Today we witnessed yet another attack against Sofia mosque. This morning, 20 minutes before the morning prayer, the warden of the mosque in Sofia was cruelly beaten. Unknown people have jumped over the fence of the mosque, beaten the keeper, destroyed the security room and burst into the mosque," says the statement.
The man was found by worshipers who came to the mosque for the morning prayer, covered in blood and unconscious, it said. He has been taken to the emergency Pirogov hospital.
"Hate crimes, acts of xenophobia and Islamophobia have risen dramatically in recent months," says the statement of the Chief Mufti's Office.
The news comes just a month after a Muslim man and five policemen were hurt in clashes between supporters of Bulgaria's ultra-nationalist Ataka party and worshipers outside the Banya Bashi mosque in Sofia on May 20.
