Russian Jewish center vandalized
(JTA) — A Jewish community center in Ulyanovsk, Russia, was vandalized.
The AEN news agency reported that vandals threw a bottle Monday afternoon through a second-floor window of the Jewish center in the Volga region city, shattering the glass in one office.
A leaflet with anti-Semitic threats was posted near the entrance to the center and anti-Semitic graffiti were painted on the building, local Jews reported.
The Ulyanovsk center has been vandalized before and even was stormed by a group of extremist nationalists in 2003 and 2004.
No one was injured in either of the incidents.
