A mosque in Quebec was vandalized with graffiti and had its windows smashed on Thursday, the same day thousands of Canadians attended the funerals of Sunday’s gun attack victims. Six people were killed and 19 injured in the shooting.
Police said the Khadijah Masjid Islamic Center in Montreal had been the target of vandals and were investigating the motive as a possible hate crime.
The defacing attack comes days after gunman Alexandre Bissonnette opened fire on worshippers attending evening prayers at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec in Quebec City.
