Another bomb was thrown here last night against a Jewish institution. The explosive, consisting of a home-made “Molotov Cocktail,” was tossed by unidentified persons into the quarters of the Israelite Club, starting a fire.
Firemen extinguished the blaze after it had caused considerable damage. However, as in the several attacks against Jewish institutions, an Israeli shipping office, and the office of a Yiddish newspaper here, last week, no one was injured. The series of attacks started over a week ago after Adolf Eichmann had been hanged in Israel.
