The Federal Bureau of Investigation has taken over the investigation of an early-morning bombing of a mosque outside Minneapolis that, according to Reuters' reports, caused no injuries.

Police in Bloomington, Minnesota, were called at 5:05 a.m. CDT (10:05 GMT) about an explosion at the Dar Al Farooq mosque, after a bomb was thrown through the window of the imam's office while worshipers were gathered for morning prayers.

Mohamed Omar, the mosque's executive director, told reporters in Bloomington that a member of the congregation saw a pickup truck speeding away from the building's parking lot just after the blast.

"Preliminary investigation indicates the explosion was caused by a destructive device in violation of federal law," the FBI's Minneapolis division said on Twitter. The Bloomington Police Department also tweeted a report, saying that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms had now joined the probe.

"When officers and fire personnel arrived, what they found there was some smoke, some damage to the building, but no one was injured," Police Chief Jeff Potts said at a news conference broadcast by local media.

Several other area religious leaders joined members of the mosque on Saturday to express support.

"It's a tragedy that we have to gather here today," Curtiss DeYoung, executive director of the Minnesota Council of Churches, told reporters shortly after Omar spoke. "We are here showing solidarity and support for Muslims, not only in this center but Muslims across our state and our country that are under these kind of attacks."

Reuters went on to say that a May analysis by the Council on American-Islamic Relations found 2,213 anti-Muslim bias incidents in the United States last year, up 57 percent from 2015.
