Assailants throw bombs at German mosque

Police in western Germany said unidentified assailants have thrown two bombs at the grounds of a mosque, but there was no damage and no one was injured, Fox News TV channel reported on Tuesday.

Police in Saarland state said that surveillance footage showed two people throwing the Molotov cocktails into the courtyard of the mosque in Neunkirchen.

They say one of the bombs caught fire but the flames didn't reach the building.

There was no immediate word on a possible motive.

Germany saw a surge in violence against refugee homes in particular last year as the country registered nearly 1.1 million people as asylum seekers, many of them from Muslim countries.
