Neo-Fascists Suspected
in Italy Synagogue Fire
ROME (JTA) — Police in
Padua said Tuesday that they
believed a neo-Fascist organ-
ization was responsible for
the fire that engulfed the
Padua Synagogue early last
Saturday morning only hours
after Rosh Hashana services
ended.
Police said the inscription
"Long Live Freda" was
found on the synagogue wall,
referring to a neo-Nazi pres-
ently under indictment for
anti-Semitic propaganda and
terrorist acts, including the
December 1969 bombing of
the Agricultural Bank in
Milan in which 18 persons
were killed. No arrests have
been made.
The fire was reported by
the porter of an adjacent
hotel who saw flames com-
ing from the synagogue at 3
a.m., five hours after the
conclusion of Rosh Hashana
services and prayers for
the 11 Israeli Olympic ath-
letes murdered in Munich.
The fire brigade brought
the fire under control, ap-
parently before serious dam-
age was sustained.
The Padua Synagogue was
the third in Italy to be set
afire in recent months. The
other two were in Gorizia
and Trieste. There were no

arrests in either case and
the investigations have slow-
ed down.
The Padua Synagogue is
located in the old Jewish
ghetto on the site of an an-
cient synagogue that was
burned to the ground by
Fascists in 1935.
