Jewish Center attacked in Venezuela; no injuries

CARACAS, Venezuela – Representatives of Venezuela's Jewish population say a community center has been attacked by unidentified assailants who threw an explosive at the building.

Abraham Garzon is president of the Jewish Community Center located in downtown Caracas. He says a small explosive resembling a pipe bomb was lobbed at the building before dawn on Thursday. The explosion damaged the doors to the center, but nobody was injured by the blast.

It was the second attack against a Jewish institution this year.

A Caracas synagogue was ransacked and vandalized last month. The assailants shattered
religious objects, spray-painted "Jews, get out" on the temple's walls and stole a computer database with names and addresses of Jews living in Venezuela.

1. I notice they didn't mention the people caught in the last destruction there

were found to be connected to the synagogue via the rabbi's bodyguard. Wonder why that is. Probably an oversight.
