U.S. To Investigate
Crown Heights Riots
Washington (JTA) â The
Justice Department's deci-
sion to launch a federal in-
vestigation into aspects of
the 1991 Crown Heights
disturbances is being hailed
by the Jewish community,
but not without reserva-
tions.
While many Jewish
leaders have long been
pushing the Justice
Department to pursue a fed-
eral investigation into civil
rights violations committed
during the Crown Heights
riots, some expressed disap-
pointment that the proposed
investigation would not be
broader in its scope.
Others criticized the
Justice Department for not
having made the move
sooner.
It came when Attorney
General Janet Reno wrote to
Brooklyn District Attorney
Charles Hynes, stating that
the Justice Department was
willing to empanel a federal
grand jury to investigate the
death of Yankel Rosenbaum.
Mr. Hynes held a news
conference in New York to
announce that he had ac-
cepted Ms. Reno's offer.
Mr. Rosenbaum, a
Chasidic Jew, was killed in
the three days of violence
that rocked the Brooklyn
neighborhood in August
1991.
"We are prepared to use a
federal grand jury to con-
tinue the investigation into
the killing of Yankel Rosen-
baum," Ms. Reno wrote to
Mr. Hynes, according to a
copy of the letter obtained by
the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency.
"We would use the grand
jury in the same manner we
use all investigative grand
juries: to find the truth and
to determine if there is cred-
ible evidence to support a
prosecution," she wrote.
Representatives of the
New York Jewish commun-
ity reacted with some disap-
pointment that the in-
vestigation would focus only
on Mr. Rosenbaum and not
on the entire Crown Heights
Jewish community.
Judah Gribetz, president
of the Jewish Community
Relations Council of New
York, called Ms. Reno's deci-
sion "an important first step
in the long overdue federal
civil rights inquiry" into the
Crown Heights riots.
Mr. Gribetz's organization
has corresponded for over a
year with the Justice
Department, urging a broad
federal prosecution of the
riots that would go beyond
the Rosenbaum killing.
In a statement, Mr.
Gribetz noted that William
Barr, who served as attorney
general in the Bush ad-
ministration, had mentioned
the idea of a broader in-
vestigation in a Jan. 15,
1993, letter to Mary Jo
White, the acting U.S. at-
torney for the Eastern
District of New York.
David Zwiebel, general
counsel for Agudath Israel,
an organization that has
long been urging the Justice
Department to embark on a
Daniel Moynihan:
Welcomed the action.
broad investigation on fed-
eral civil disorder grounds,
said he was "pleased there
will be some meaningful
federal investigation into
the Rosenbaum murder."
But he added, "I continue
to be disappointed by the
narrow focus of the Justice
Department."
"What's getting lost is the
much larger focus on three
days of uncontrolled riots,"
Mr. Zwiebel said.
Rabbi Joseph Spielman,
chairman of the Crown
Heights Jewish Community
Council, went further, call-
ing Reno's letter "totally in-
sufficient and totally disap-
pointing."
"Reno is focusing only on
Rosenbaum, not on the
many others who were vic-
timized for 80 hours," he
said.
"While I wholeheartedly
commend the Justice
Department's decision, it is
a job half done," Dov Hikind,
a New York state
assemblyman from
Brooklyn, said in a state-
ment.
"What about the civil
