Jacob Finkelstein, Jewish merchant of Wawer, Poland, was seriously injured today when a bomb was thrown into his shop by anti-Semites. He was rushed to a hospital, where one arm was amputated immediately. His condition was described as critical. The shop was completely destroyed by the explosion.
Nara anti-Semites are suspected of the bombing, since the town is a Nara stronghold and the group has recently carried on intense anti-Jewish agitation.
