Overview
- The Rahma Islamic Centre on Watt Street suffered multiple broken windows after an attack that police are treating as a possible hate crime following reports late Wednesday night.
- Winnipeg police say officers found freshly broken windows and that a passing vehicle may have fired at the mosque, a detail investigators are trying to confirm with forensic work and video.
- The National Council of Canadian Muslims released security footage that it says shows two people approaching the building and one striking its walls with a blunt object.
- No one was injured, no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made, and police have asked the public to submit surveillance or dashcam footage to help the inquiry.
- Community leaders say the incident follows a recent rise in anti-Muslim harassment in Canada and organizers planned a gathering at the mosque to support worshippers and press for answers.
