The mosque door had been burnt using rags that were set ablaze. The Mosque trustee\u2019s wife who had noticed the fire in time had raised an alarm. The neighbours had helped them douse the fire soon, avoiding any heavy damages to the structure.<\/p>\n<p>Upon lodging a complaint with the Police, a sniffer dog had been brought to the premises in the hope of tracking the instigators. However, no arrests had been made during the time of writing under suspicion of instigating the attack.<\/p>\n<p>Several politicians including government Minister A. H. M. Fowzie and opposition MP Azath Salley had visited the mosque yesterday to inquire the damages to the premises and had also spoken to the residents in the area concerning the incident.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":127091,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1,6969,2375],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-127090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-news","category-popular-stories","category-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
