A mosque and an international congress center were attacked in two explosions in the German city of Dresden, but nobody was injured, police said. Dresden police said in a statement today, the explosions took place late yesterday, and there was no immediate report on the extent of damage. Police President Horst Kretschmar said, "Even though we do not have a letter of confession, we must assume there's a xenophobic background."

Police said they found pieces of a home-made explosive device in front of the congress center. They also increased the security in front of mosques all over Dresden. Dresden will hold Germany's national unification celebrations next week.
