RALEIGH, N.C. - An apparent mob of vandals attacked the North Carolina Republican Party headquarters, causing minor smoke damage, breaking windows and leaving vulgar messages, police said.

In addition to the damage, the vandals left a burned effigy depicting President Bush (news - web sites) and Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), police said.

A police officer reported Friday night that about 100 people wearing masks and gloves were walking down a street near the headquarters, police Capt. D.S. Overman said.

"This is not a political statement," Sughrue said. "A political statement is what we made Tuesday. This is a crime."

"The people who did this are sick," said Kevin Howell, communications director for the state Republican Party. "People don't understand that debate and elections are part of the process. This isn't how you act."
