A few hours after the last worshippers had left the Sephardic Synagogue hore after the conclusion of Passover services, two unidentified men threw home made bombs into the building starting a small fire.

The blaze was ### extinguished, causing little damage. Police arrested the attackers, but refused to make public their names. This was the second attack on an Argentine synagogue in the last month.
