French synagogue vandalized
A Molotov cocktail was thrown at a synagogue in a Paris suburb over the weekend. Synagogue officials on Monday found the remains of an explosive device in the courtyard of the synagogue in Cachan.

A doorway and exterior walls were blackened, and a heating ventilator was destroyed. Sammy Ghozlan, president of the Office of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, said in a statement that the attack was motivated by anti-Semitism. Charges have been filed with police and an investigation is under way.
