Arizona synagogue and mosque vandalized in separate attacks
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Police say they have arrested a man in connection with the vandalism of a Tucson synagogue and are investigating an unrelated attack on a local mosque. Detectives announced Wednesday they arrested the 37-year-old on suspicion of aggravated criminal damage after reviewing surveillance video taken at Kol Ami Tucson. The man was in jail for allegedly assaulting an officer when police arrested him. Tucson police said they were investigating vandalism and an assault on several worshippers at the Islamic Center of Tucson. The Arizona Chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations this week called for additional security at the mosque.
