Two Jews were killed here this weekend in rioting by Moslem terrorists during the general strike that followed the funeral of the assassinated Mayor of Evian.

The latest Jewish victims are David Hakoun, a policeman; and Marcel Benichou, a grocer. Mr. Benichou was killed by a terrorist’s grenade while tending his shop. Three years ago, rebels killed his wife in the same store. Hakoun was killed while on police duty.
