CHURCH AND MOSQUE DAMAGED BY BOMBS

ROCHESTER, N.Y.--The Mount Vernon Baptist church is littered with

debris after an early morning bomb blast caused extensive damage to

the Rochester, N.Y., church. The nearby Muhammed Muslim Mosque was

also bombed at the same time. Both buildings are located in

Rochester's black section, the same general area where two black

churches were bombed in October 1970.
