The Miami bomb squad has arrested and questioned four persons in connection with an unsuccessful attempt to bomb Temple Israel here last week.
Several sticks of dynamite were found by four boys who doused them with water and then called police. The authorities believe that the dynamite failed to explode because of a faulty fuse. At the same time, a Ku Klux Klan sign was found scrawled on the synagogue wall.
Earlier, a sign in German was found on Tiforeth Israel Center threatening Jews and Negroes with the fate of the Jews in Germany. After that, several anonymous telephone calls threatening to blast the center were received by its officers. Last June a bomb wrecked the partially completed center and delayed its completion by many weeks.
