CALIFORNIA – An Islamic center in the Coachella Valley was the scene of a fire Friday afternoon and was possibly firebombed, according to the center’s Reymundo Nour.

“The report that I got was someone threw some type of device at the building and firebombed the place,” Nour told reporters. “I got a report from people who were inside the mosque saying that they heard a loud boom and that the front area of the mosque erupted in fire, so they quickly called the Fire Department.”

Nour was in Los Angeles at the time and wasn’t at the mosque, but was heading there after hearing what people said had happened.

Riverside County fire officials said the lobby of the Islamic Society of Palm Springs was the scene of a fire around 12:09 p.m. Friday. Officials said they extinguished the flames around 12:49 p.m.

The fire was contained to the front lobby of the mosque, but smoke damaged other areas of the building, officials said. No injuries were reported, and Nour confirmed that no one was injured.

A Riverside County Sheriff’s Department forensic services vehicle was at the scene.

A group of Muslims gathered in front of the mosque in prayer shortly after the fire was contained Friday afternoon.

The arson fire comes just a week after the deadly terrorist attack in San Benardino, about an hour-and-15-minute drive west of the mosque, where 14 people were killed in a mass shooting and 22 others were injured.

The Islamic Society of Palm Springs was targeted by a shooter on November 4, 2014. The suspect was never caught but the mosque offered a $12,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

CNN released a report just one day before the mosque arson fire regarding attacks on U.S. mosques reaching a record high.
