MANGALORE: The Canara Organisation for Development and Peace (CODP) at Nanthoor, the Noorani and Noor-ul-Islam mosques, an orphanage, a house and a shop adjoining the mosques in Kumpala were damaged in stone-throwing by suspected Hindutva activists early on Sunday.
At the CODP, which is the social service organisation of the Mangalore Catholic Diocese, the attackers threw stones and damaged a stained glass with an image of Mary as well as windowpanes of the building. The incident came to light at daybreak.
Around 2 a.m., a string of Muslim institutions were targeted at Kumpala. The attackers are suspected to have been travelling on motorcycles. They first threw stones at the Noorani mosque, then moved on to a neighbouring cellphone shop and damaged it. They then damaged a concrete fence of a house next door before throwing stones at the adjoining Noor-Ul-Islam mosque and the orphanage run by it.(Source: THE HINDU, FEB 01,2010)
