Ukraine: Neo-Nazis planned to bomb synagogue

Gang exposed after shattering windows of shul in Kirovohrad, spraying anti-Semitic slogans on its walls

Neo-Nazis in the Ukrainian city of Kirovohrad planned to bomb the local synagogue, according to a senior Ukrainian security official.

 

The leaders of the neo-Nazi gang, among them a former police officer, also planned to assault Jews and members of other minorities, Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Monday.

 

The security official told a press conference that the group numbered 14 members, mostly university students aged 18-20 who were well-versed in Nazi literature.

 

The gang was exposed after the leader of the Reform Jewish community in Kirovohrad complained that the local synagogue's windows had been shattered and that anti-Semitic slogans had been sprayed on its walls.

 

Meanwhile in Serbia, an intoxicated man was arrested on Yom Kippur after he shattered the windows of a synagogue in the city of Novi Sad.
