A bomb was exploded by unknown vandals in the home of Dr. Salomon Ravikovitch, president of the Jewish Community of Harbin.
The bomb exploded with a loud detonation, shattering the windows. No one was injured as all members of the family were in a back room at the time.
A permanent police guard has now been stationed outside the home of Dr. Ravikovitch to ward off possible future attempts on his life and on members of his family.
It is believed that White Russian Guards are responsible for the bombing.
Harbin is a White Russian Guard centre and terrorization by the White Russian Guardists has been current over an extended period. The situation has been further complicated by the fact that the White Russian Guards comprise an important section of the police department, with the result that offenders are not punishable.
