Some 100 French youths demonstrated Monday in front of the Syrian Arab airlines office here to protest what they called “the odious murder by the anti-Semitic Syrian authorities” of four young Jewish women in Damascus. The demonstration was organized by the “Action Committee for Jews in Arab Countries” and the coordinating committee of Jewish women’s organizations of France. The demonstrators were dispersed by police.
