Synagogue hit byfire in Germany

Lbeck - Arsonists set fire to a storeroom at Lbeck's synagogue, whose firebombing by young neo-Nazis during Passover last year shamed the nation.

Coming on the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of Nazi Germany's surrender, the firebombing was deplored by German leaders. Lbeckers placed flowers against a wall outside the synagogue and officials called a rally outside the City Hall to express outrage. AP
