Article snippet: The FBI is searching for suspects after an explosive device detonated in a suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota mosque on Saturday morning. No one was injured in the incident, which occurred around 5 a.m. local time Saturday, but a room was damaged in the explosion, Fox News reported. Witnesses say an explosive device was thrown from a vehicle at the imam's office before the blast.   The US Department of Homeland Security said it "fully supports the rights of all to freely and safely worship the faith of their choosing and we vigorously condemn such attacks on any religious institution. We are thankful that there were no injuries, but that does not diminish the serious nature of this act."
