ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Islamic leaders in St. Cloud say their worship centers have repeatedly been targeted by vandals.

The latest window damage was found Wednesday at the Central Minnesota Islamic Center near St. Cloud State University. Spokesman Mohamoud Mohamed says it's the third time in recent weeks that windows have been broken. He says repairs to just one of the center's double-paned windows costs nearly $1,000.

Mohamed says personal vehicles are also being targeted as worshippers pray at the Islamic Center of St. Cloud before sunrise.

St. Cloud police say they are investigating.

Mohamed tells the St. Cloud Times (http://on.sctimes.com/1tOAh93 ) additional security cameras will be installed on the properties.
