Montreal police say a local mosque has been the target of vandalism.
They say a window at the Khadijah centre was smashed and had eggs thrown at it.
Fatima Ahmed, the daughter of the mosque's director, says the building was also spray-painted with graffiti a few months ago.
Police spokesman Daniel Lacoursiere says the incident occurred between 7 and 8 a.m. and that an investigation is underway.
