More French anti-semitism: A bomb was found and defused on Friday at the entrance to a Jewish cemetery outside Strasbourg, in eastern France, police officials said. The police also said today that at least eight people were being detained in connection with the firebombing of synagogues in two other French cities early Thursday.

The police in Paris said that five people had been arrested in connection with a firebomb that was thrown at a synagogue in the southern Paris suburb of Le Kremlin-Bicêtre in the early hours of Thursday. The bomb landed on a sidewalk, causing little if any damage to the building. In Montpellier, in the south of France, the police said that three people suspected of hurling firebombs at a synagogue there later Thursday morning had confessed. They were expected to appear later today before prosecutors, in the French form of an arraignment. (NY Times)
