A swastika drawn in purple ink has been found on a window shade in the US embassy in Sofia, raising concern within the US State Department, BGNES reports.
The swastika was found on 28 January, one day after International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The image was found in a secure part of the embassy, indicating whoever drew it had access to the American diplomatic service. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
“The department takes this matter extremely seriously,” said State Department spokesperson Ned Price, “We unequivocally condemn any instances of hate or bias in the workplace, which this appears to be.”
