BERLIN (AP) — Police say several windows at a mosque in the eastern German city of Leipzig were broken after dozens of people set off fireworks, set fire to garbage cans and threw bottles at cars. It wasn’t clear on Tuesday whether the mosque was targeted deliberately. Police said the windows were broken on Monday evening. Before that, the group of about 80 people had marched nearby and thrown paint and stones at a police patrol car. Police estimated the total value of the damage caused during the incident at 30,000 euros (nearly $34,000).
