Imam says Galway rock attack may have led to serious injury

A leading Imam said worshippers, including children, could have been seriously injured in a rock attack on his mosque in Galway, in which one of its windows were smashed.

Imam Ibrahim Noonan believes the fact his windows were double-glazed prevented the rocks from breaking through the glass and hitting people as they prayed.

He described the attack, which occurred late on Monday night, as a “hate crime” and believed it was in direct response to the London terror attacks.
