Police Ask for Public Help following Arson Attack at Australia Mosque

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Detectives want to speak to the occupants of a white car seen driving past a mosque before an arson attack in Thornlie, Perth, Australia.

Around 7.50pm on Thursday, June 28, four vehicles parked outside the mosque were damaged. One of them was destroyed when it was set on fire.

Anti-Islamic graffiti was sprayed on the wall of a college connected to the mosque, which is on Tonbridge Way.

The attacks were carried out while hundreds of worshippers were praying inside.

Three men were seen running from the scene afterwards.

On Saturday police issued a statement asking for the public's help to identify the occupants of a white car seen driving past the mosque a couple of hours before the attack and a second time an hour before the attack.

Police say the car may have been a late model Toyota Corolla Seca, or a similar vehicle.
