Jewish cemeteries in the German state of Saxony have recently been the target of neo-Nazi vandals.

The latest attack occurred last week at the Jewish cemetery in the eastern city of Dresden, where four headstones were toppled and swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans were painted on other tombs.

Police in Saxony said this was the fifth attack against a Jewish cemetery in recent weeks. A special police unit, set up to fight rightist extremism in Saxony, is investigating the vandalism.
