German police investigate after Leipzig mosque vandalized by mob
[IsraelTimes] Several windows at a mosque in the eastern German city of Leipzig were broken after dozens of people set off fireworks, set fire to garbage cans and threw bottles at cars, police say. It isn’t clear whether the mosque was targeted deliberately.

The windows were broken on Monday evening, police tell news agency dpa. Before that, the group of about 80 people had marched nearby and thrown paint and stones at a police patrol car. Police estimated the total value of the damage caused during the incident at 30,000 euros (nearly $34,000).

The mosque — run by the Ottoman Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs, or DITIB
... the Diyanet İşleri Türk İslam Birliğ department of the Turkish government’s religious department, Turkey’s official religious affairs authority in Germany for the further aggrandizement of Sultan Recep Tayip Erdogan I “the much beloved”in recent years...
— appeared to be the only building that was damaged, but police don’t say whether that was on purpose and there was no word on whether there was any political motive.

There were no arrests, though officers took 12 people to a cop shoppe to register their identity. Police initially linked the damage to a march by what they believed was a left-wing group.
Red on green? That’s new.
They have opened an investigation into suspected breach of the peace.
