Police in Stockholm are investigating a Saturday attack on a mosque in which neo-Nazi and anti-Muslim slogans were daubed near the place of worship.
\nSwastikas and the text \u201ckill Muslims\u201d had been scribbled near the entrance of the mosque in the southwestern Stockholm suburb of Bredang, not far from the center of the Swedish capital.
\nA loud bang was also reported before 8 a.m. local time (0700GMT) from an adjacent gym during morning prayers. Firework residue was found at the building but no injuries were reported.
\nPolice spokesperson Sven-Erik Olsson told Anadolu Agency there were no suspects yet.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been to the mosque to take photos and we\u2019ve reported this as a case of destruction of property and incitement to hatred,\u201d he added.
\n\u201cIt [the mosque] is located on the second floor and someone had scribbled swastikas and \u2018kill Muslims\u2019 on all three walls at the entrance,\u201d Olsson said.
\nIn October police suspected arson was behind a fire which damaged a Muslim prayer room in Malmo, southern Sweden.
\nAn investigation by the Islamic Cooperation Council in Sweden last year revealed seven out of 10 mosques in the country had been attacked.
\nRadio Sweden put together a list in 2014 describing 13 incidents of mosque attacks across the nation that year.<\/p>\n
