The HIGHEST Money Market Rate in the Detroit Metropolitan Area Among Major Financial Institutions — for — ferent. Last year when he came to Brighton Beach he spoke to overflow crowds. I won't lie and say the majority in our community favors Kahane. The ma- jority of Russian Jews in the U.S. are politically apathetic. But there is a grow- ing minority who support Kahane and the Jewish Underground." The Jewish Underground Kahane has long dreamed of forging a Jewish underground that would liquidate his enemies. As early as 1974, he called for the creation of a "world-wide, Jewish anti- terror group" that would "spread fear and shatter the souls" of Israel's Arabs, forc- ing them to flee for their lives. In 1975, ac- cording to Israeli police officials, Kahane began to build an anti-Arab terrorist underground, the TNT, which in the next few years would stage dozens of bloody raids against West Bank Arabs. In 1979, Kahane called for the establish- ment of a similar terrorist underground in America that would 'quietly and profes- sionally eliminate those modern day Hitlers . . . that threaten our very ex- istence." He proposed that a "militant and sometimes violent" JDL should serve as a spokesman for the "American Jewish underground. Indeed, the current pattern of violence directed against Arab Americans and alleged Nazi war criminals recalls the JDL founder's vision. Last year, a string of bombings that claimed two liveswas at- tributed to the JDL by the FBI, which says the primary suspects are American Jews who were members of the JDL before joining Kahane in Israel. "They became in- volved in radical groups in Israel and now are back in the U.S.," says Thomas L. Sheer, an FBI official who heads the joint FBI/NYPD task force on terrorism. Sheer says that there is also some evidence in- dicating the possible involvement of Rus- sian Jews from Brighton Beach in the re- cent violence. On February 28, FBI direc- tor William Webster said before a House subcommittee on civil and constitutional rights that he considers "the potential for further violence . . . by Jewish extremist groups . . . to be quite high." For their part, spokesmen for the JDL and the JDO have publicly praised the violence while denying complicity in the attacks. Nonetheless, all of the targeted groups and individuals had appeared on the militant groups' published "hit lists" and had been subject to violent harass- ment campaigns. Furthermore, in private conversations, JDL leaders say they take pride in the professionalism of the bomb- ings. "In the old days, we used to firebomb a Soviet diplomat's car and hurry home to phone our friends and brag about it," says Vancier. "Then we would hold a press con- ference to applaud the bombing. You're certain to get caught when you do that. Of course the FBI would know who to look for. I think someone really learned their lesson." Just how well someone learned their lesson became apparent last August 15. At 4:29 that morning, Tscherim Soob- zokov, a member of the Nazi Waffen SS, was killed by a pipe bomb when he stepped outside his Paterson, New Jersey, home after being awakened and told his car was on fire. Soobzokov's name had appeared on both JDL and JDO hit lists. Moreover, JDO boss Mordechai Levy had denounced Soobzokov in a speech on August 7 in front of 50 people at a Passaic, New Jersey, synagogue. "Whoever did it, did a righteous act," Levy said of the bomb- ing. Rabbi Kahane, who was in New York at the time, said, "I can only cheerfully ap- plaud such action." On September 6, 1985, Elmars Sprogis of Brentwood, New York, a 69-year-old former Latvian policeman who had been cleared on charges that he helped Nazis kill Jews during World War II, was only slightly injured when a bomb attached to his front door exploded. But the bomb blew off the legs of a young rock and roll drummer who tried to put out a fire on Sprogis' porch, which apparently had been set to draw him outside. A few hours after the Sprogis bombing, Newsday received a telephone call with what sounded like a recorded message: "Listen carefully. Jewish Defense League. Nazi War Criminal. Bomb. Never again!" A week before the bombing, Fern Rosenblatt, who was then the national director of the JDL, reportedly received a phone call from a man speaking English with what sound- ed like a heavy Russian accent, inform- ing her that the underground was about to strike and telling her to alert the media after the action. A JDL spokesman later called the Sprogis bombing "a brave and noble act." The most recent bombing death occurred in Santa Ana, California, on October 11, when Alex Odeh, the 41-year-old regional director • of the American Arab Anti- Discrimination Committee, was blown in half by a booby-trapped bomb wired to his office door from the inside. The previous night, in the middle of the Achille Lauro affair, Odeh appeared on a local ABC-TV talk show to deny Arafat had any connec- tion to the ship hijacking or the murder of Leon Klinghoffer. "My tear ducts are dry," Iry Rubin later said of Odeh's murder. "I'm too busy crying over Odeh's victims." According to the FBI, each of the three bombings were carried out with pipe-bomb booby traps that were set to explode when doors were opened. "Other characteristics that were similar in the three bombings in- dicate either the bomb-makers had the same teacher or the same group or person did it," said FBI official Sheer. "Each bomb has a signature," he explained.
