Police in Rome are searching for vandals who destroyed two signs honoring Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in a city park named in honor of the late Israeli leader. The signs at the park, which was dedicated to Rabin’s memory last year, bore the words “Yitzhak Rabin Park, Israeli Prime Minister 1992-1995, Nobel Prize for Peace 1994.” Graffiti was also found on a nearby wall with the words “Death to Zionism.” A member of the Rome city council called the vandalism “a barbarous act of ignoble violence.”
