This is the second attack on a Muslim sanctuary in Belgrade.
Two weeks ago, an unidentified person threw a hand grenade on the
mosque, which is located in Dorcol, near the city centre.
In his first statement after the explosion, the Belgrade Mufti
Hamdija Jusufspahic said that the act 'does no credit to Belgrade'
and warned that a police officer should secure the mosque.
A week ago, two Molotov cocktails were thrown at the Belgrade
monastery of St Anthony. A similar incident happened last year, but
the perpetrators have still not been identified.
