Two new outrages against Jews in Algeria, one of them causing the death of a 17-year-old girl, were reported here today.
A typewriter shop owned by a Jew in the center of Algiers was the target of a bomb which demolished the front of the store. A girl, Michele Taies, was killed by a grenade blast in Constantine while she was walking with her two sisters and a friend, Maurice Zerbib. The sisters and Mr. Zerbib, who is well known in Constantine Jewish circles, were seriously injured.
Pro-French extremists were believed to be responsible for these and other recent attacks on Jews and Jewish property.
