An anonymous Jewish organization assumed responsibility last Friday for an attack against an extreme right-wing organization. An unidentified caller told the French news agency the attack was carried out by a Jewish “combat organization” because the Federation for European National Action was spreading “Hitlerite propaganda.” The Federation’s Paris offices were slightly damaged when an incendiary bomb burst into flames Thursday night outside its front door. Police later found a second bomb, which had failed to explode. a few feet away.
