SAN ANTONIO -- As the anniversary of Sept. 11 approaches, tensions are running high, including here in San Antonio, where a mosque has been targeted several times over the weekend by vandals.
Nadia Ramdass of KENS 5 spoke with the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, D.C., which is not treating the incident as a hate crime due to the non-offensive nature of the graffiti.
They are working with local police and FBI, however, to ensure they're correct.
Vandals spray painted symbols and letters inside and outside of the mosque, located near the Medical Center in northwest San Antonio on Sunday.
Members of the Islamic Center were already targeted by vandals on Saturday, too. They came out from prayers to find the cars in the parking lot sprayed with graffiti.
Members of the mosque believe the incidents could be gang related.
So far, local law enforcement has no leads.
