Rabbi stabbed

by Feòrag

A French Rabbi needed hospital treatment after he was stabbed ouside his Paris synagogue. Rabbi Gabriel Farhi's synagogue had already been damaged by fire last May. The assailant was apparently a French Muslim.

Someone rang at the door, I opened and a man a bit shorter than me... wearing a motorbike helmet with its visor down said Allahu Akbar [God is Great] and then stabbed me, Mr Farhi told AFP.

Rabbi Farhi has received a number of threatening letters. Rabbi stabbed at Paris synagogue - BBC News, 4th January 2003.
