Islamic Center Targeted in String of Firebombings in Queens 
------------------------------------------------------------



Police in New York City are searching for a man believed to be
responsible for targeting three homes, a business and an Islamic
community center in and around Queens. On Sunday evening, a security
camera captured images of a hooded man throwing a Molotov cocktail at a
home that houses a small Hindu temple. The second attack occurred at a
prominent Islamic community center where roughly 100 people were
worshipping. The third target was a corner store owned by an immigrant
from Yemen, and another attack took place at the home of a Christian
family. Another bomb was thrown at a home just across the Nassau County
border. There were no injuries reported in the attacks.
