UK police have reported an arson attack taking place against Didsbury Mosque in Manchester late on Friday saying that no one was injured in the incident likely to be a hate crime, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
An administration officer for the mosque has expressed gratitude for the neighbors helping to put out the blaze.
The mosque had reportedly received threats for arson attacks throughout years as some have practiced their threats to set the holy Islamic site on fire.
