Continued vigilance necessary in all Jewish communities

Terrorist attack against Israelis timed to coincide with AMIA bombing, says Jewish community



TORONTO, – Canada’s Jewish community has condemned today’s terror attack in Bulgaria targeting Israeli tourists that has already caused several deaths and many more injuries. B’nai Brith Canada has also noted the grim irony that today’s attack falls on the 18th anniversary of the Iranian regime-led terrorist bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA), the Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people and wounded 300 more. Early reports are now linking Iran and Hezbollah to today’s attack as well.

Frank Dimant, CEO of B'nai Brith Canada, issued the following statement: “Today’s terror attack on Israeli tourists in Bulgaria acts as yet one more reminder of the deadly intentions of international terror groups, such as Hezbollah and their state sponsors, which target the Jewish State and Jewish communities worldwide as part of their deadly agenda. Today, 18 years after the Iranian regime-led terror attack against the Jewish community of Buenos Aires, and with the memories of the Toulouse massacre still fresh in our minds, we have witnessed yet another vicious attack. But it is not just Jews and Israel that are the targets of such groups. The world continues to be threatened by the same forces that seek the destruction of the Western world. “In Canada, we must remain vigilant as Islamist terrorism knows no boundaries. Report any suspicious activity to police services and to B’nai Brith Canada’s 24/7 Anti-Hate Hotline at 1-800-892-BNAI (2624).”
