CCTV has captured the moment a man launched a rock at a Welsh mosque, shattering the window while people prayed inside. The incident took place at Rabbaniah Islamic Cultural Centre on Clare Road in Grangetown, Cardiff on Monday, June 6 at approximately 10.15pm.
CCTV footage showed a man walking towards the mosque before throwing a rock at a window of the main entrance, smashing the glass to pieces only minutes away from the late evening prayer. The mosque is a focal point for the five daily congregational prayers as well as a popular supplementary Islamic school catering to over 50 children.
Although no-one was injured, secretary general of Muslim Council of Wales Dr Abdul-Azim Ahmed said the incident was a "sad moment for the Muslim community here in Wales" and had left congregants fearful of future attacks and the safety of their children while at the mosque.
