About a month later, on June 15, another attack occurred in the Catholic Church of Jude, the FBI said. In each case, the unknown authors threw incendiary devices at the churches in an attempt to set them on fire, according to the FBI.

“Each church suffered damage caused by these devices. Fortunately, to date no one has been injured, ”said the FBI.
The local FBI field office offered a reward of up to $ 5,000 for information leading to an arrest in each attack, a total of up to $ 15,000.
"Keeping everyone safe is our shared priority and number one," the FBI said in a statement Thursday. “Each track will be thoroughly investigated. Regardless of how insignificant you think your information might be, we strongly advise you to come forward and appreciate your information and assistance. ”
