WASHINGTON, Oct 17 (APP/AFP): Police in the southern US state of North Carolina on Sunday were investigating a firebomb attack on a Republican Party office, with the message “Nazi Republicans leave town or else” sprayed on an adjacent building. No one was hurt in the arson attack overnight on the Orange County Republican Party headquarters in Hillsborough, the town said in a statement. The executive director of the state’s Republican Party called the attack “political terrorism.” “The office itself is a total loss,” Dallas Woodhouse told The Charlotte Observer. “The only thing important to us is that nobody was killed, and they very well could have been.” Photographs posted by the state party showed the office’s charred walls and furniture, with colorful lawn signs for candidates, including Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, appearing melted and warped.
