LONDON (JTA) — British
Jews appear to be the princi-
pal targets of the new wave
of letter bombs flooding
Britain.
To date, 20 of the booby-
trapped envelopes have been
either intercepted at postal
sorting offices or turned over
to police by recipients.
One recipient, Vivian Prins,
a diamond merchant, was
injured when he opened a
letter bomb in his office.
Other recipients included
Abba Bornstein, former
chairman of the British Miz-
rachi; and Chief Rabbi Eme-
ritus Sir Israel Brodie.
Several were addressed to
offices in Whitechapel where
many Jewish business firms
are located. Scotland Yard
has warned Jews not to open
unexpected mail from
abroad.
Police increased security
for the 17th biennial national
conference of the British Sec-
tion of the World Jewish Con-

gress (See Story below).
A Scotland Yard expert
told the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that the letter bombs
are only dangerous if opened.
He warned against putting
suspect mail in water be-
cause the glue on the enve-
lope could dissolve and the
bomb would explode.
The letter bombs contain
stiff cardboard soaked in a
plastic explosive with a
metal detonator. The expert
said any suspect letter should
be put aside and the local
police informed immediately.
Israeli police are examin-
ing a suspected letter comb
mailed from New Delhi,
India.
The letter, mailed to a pri-
vate residence in Jerusalem,
was spotted by Tel Aviv pos-
tal workers who turned it
over to police. Police said the
envelope was the same size
and shape of letter bombs
mailed from Amsterdam sev-
eral weeks ago.
