Paris prosecutors: No anti-Semitism in attack

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Paris prosecutors have decided that an attack on three Jewish youths did not have anti-Semitic motives. The Sept. 6 incident in eastern Paris led to renewed concern that anti-Semitic attacks were rising in France. The country has western Europe's largest population of Jews and Muslims. A judicial official said Wednesday that the prosecutors office has opened an investigation against five youths - one of them Jewish - for voluntary violence. The official, not authorized to speak publicly of the case, demanded anonymity.
