UT students studying abroad in north London are approximately a mile away from a mosque that was set on fire Wednesday.

According to the Associated Press, a fire at the Somali Bravanese Welfare Association, or the Al-Rahma Islamic Center, is being investigated. After the fire, graffiti spelling out the name of a conservative right-wing group was found on a wall in the building. According to the AP, several mosques and Muslim centers have been targeted violently following the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby in May.

The students studying abroad are a part of the Roots of Social and Economic Justice program, where students learn about the historic roots of the social work program. According to Alexa Ura, a multimedia journalism senior in the program, 24 students are a part of the program.

Ura said all the students are safe.
