New York — The Council on American-Islamic Relations is condemning a firebomb attack on an Islamic center in New York City.
The group says about 80 worshippers were inside the Imam al-Khoei Foundation on Sunday night when a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the building, damaging a door.
Governor Andrew Cuomo condemned the attack on the Queens mosque and three nearby sites.
Authorities are investigating the attacks as hate crimes. There were no injuries.

At 8 pm, a bottle was thrown at a bodega counter.
Ten minutes later, a nearby house was damaged after possibly being set on fire.
At 8:44 pm, the mosque was targeted.
At 10:14 pm, two bottles were thrown at a house used for Hindu worship services. They didn't explode.
