Minnesota’s governor on Sunday called the early morning bombing of a mosque in Bloomington an “act of terrorism.”

“What a terrible, dastardly, cowardly act was committed,” Gov. Mark Dayton (D) said during a visit to the Dar al-Farooq Islamic Center. “It is a criminal act of terrorism.”

The FBI is leading the investigation into the blast that rocked the mosque just after 5 a.m. on Saturday, when a small group of congregants had gathered for morning prayers.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is also taking part in the investigation.
