SIDON, Lebanon: A fire erupted in a mosque in the coastal city of Sidon Wednesday, destroying an entire floor of the building.
The janitor and his family were able to escape the huge blaze, which reached the Rawda Mosque's library as well as the rooms and courtyard where worshipers gather.
Civil Defense teams struggled to put out the fire as large plumes of smoke covered the city's skyline.
Internal Security Forces launched an investigation into the incident, and after questioning the janitor, authorities suspected the source of the blaze was an electrical fire, a security source told The Daily Star.
