'On Thursday night unknown vandals broke down the front door of the Cathedral of St. George in Tripoli, Libya, and stormed inside...'

If I read it correctly the article goes on to say that the holy vessels and Gospels were stolen from the sanctuary together with relics of St. George and vestments and the nave was vandalized (candle stands overturned, et cetera).
