Heavily vandalized mosque to reopen
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS - The city's oldest mosque will reopen a year after being damaged by vandals, with freshly painted walls and varnished floors and a new feature: security equipment.
"It was so peaceful and safe here that we didn't even fathom that anyone would do such a crime," Siraj Haji, a mosque member, said Tuesday.
Vandals on Dec. 30, 2001, caused about $100,000 in damage at the Islamic Center of Columbus, which will open again Saturday.
