5 Mosque Attacks in Birmingham

Counter-terrorism police have launched an investigation after five mosques in the British city of Birmingham were attacked on Thursday, CNN reported.

West Midlands Police first responded to reports of a man smashing the windows of a mosque in the north of the central English city with a sledgehammer at 2:32 a.m. When officers arrived at the scene they discovered the attack had taken place some time earlier.
In less than an hour, police were subsequently called to reports of a similar attack on a mosque nearby, and officers then began patrols around two other places of worship, where they discovered further damage.
At 10:03 a.m. officers were called to another mosque following reports of a fifth attack in which windows had been smashed.
West Midlands police announced that they are treating the attacks as being "linked," but noted that the motive remains under investigation.
Forensic officers are currently working on scene to identify evidence, and CCTV footage is being examined.
