Threatening Letters Sent to Two German Mosques

IQNA – Threatening and provocative letters have been sent to two mosques in Germany amid growing Islamophobia in the European country.

This is according to a statement issued by the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB) on Friday.

One of the letters was addressed to the mosque in Dortmund, run by the DITIB, while another one was sent to a Moroccan Islamic mosque near Dusseldorf, the statement said.

Both incidents, which took place on Thursday, have been reported to the police, it added.

Last week, some DITIB mosques were evacuated and searched following an emailed bomb threat.

No explosive devices were found, and the all-clear was given several hours later. The Friday prayer service, which normally takes place around 1 p.m., had to be canceled.
