Arab terrorist bombs today wrecked the offices of the Zionist Redemption Fund and started a fire that damaged the adjacent headquarters of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in a building also housing the Palestine Post.
The American landlord of the building, Solomon White, of Long Island, together with his wife and son were thrown from bed by the blast. Trapped by the ensuing flames, the three were rescued through the roof.
The bombings, which occurred at two o’clock this morning, signalized the opening of an Arab terrorist campaign against the Redemption Fund, which seeks to finance Jewish defense against the terrorists and to develop the country through road-building and other activities. Simultaneously, the automobiles of two fund officials were stolen and demolished and a grocery supplying provisions for ghaffirs was bombed.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
