LAS VEGAS
The FBI is offering a $5,000 reward as authorities investigate raw bacon that was found on the door handles of a Las Vegas mosque.
The FBI said in a statement Wednesday that they're seeking information on the man seen in a surveillance video putting the meat on the entrances of the Masjid-e-Tawheed mosque, calling it a desecration of the Islamic worship center.
The Quran, the holy book of Islam, prohibits Muslims from eating pork, and pigs have been used to taunt or offend Muslims.
Both the FBI and Las Vegas police say they're investigating the Dec. 27 incident west of the Strip as a possible hate crime.
The sit wasn't damaged and no one was hurt.
Officials at the mosque couldn't immediately be reached.
