A fire that might have been caused by Arab terrorist arsonists damaged a famous synagogue in downtown Budapest, today, according to reports received here today. The largest synagogue in the Hungarian capital, known as the Dphany-Ucca Synagogue, was a famous landmark with its Moorish-style towers. The Budapest police reported that some “religious scrips” (apparently Torah scrolls) were destroyed in the fire but gave no other indication of the extent of damage.
