FIND THE MONTREAL BOMBER, URGES FRIENDS OF SIMON WIESENTHAL CENTER
TORONTO, April 4/07 – With the explosion of a homemade bomb at the Ben Weider Jewish Community Centre in Montreal last evening, "we see history repeating itself," said Leo Adler, Director of National Affairs, Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center For Holocaust Studies.
"Again, Montreal's Jewish community is the target of criminal activity and while it has not been proved by the police, this violation seems to have all the makings of a hate crime," he added.
"We are saddened by this turn of events and urge the law enforcement agencies involved to be vigilant in their search for the perpetrator," said Adler.
