A pro-Soviet Jewry publication, New Russian Voice, was firebombed here this morning and two floors housing the publication’s office and printing machinery were destroyed. Although an anonymous caller phoned news agencies claiming the bombing was done by the Jewish Armed Resistance group, Andre Zedich, the publication’s editor, felt the act was not carried out by a Jewish group. The New Russian Voice has worked closely with the Jewish community and especially with Soviet Jewish immigrants. The anonymous caller claimed the bombing was in protest against Soviet mistreatment of Jews. One source close to the Soviet Jewry scene believed it might have been the work of Soviet double agents.
