called into the health club just
before 2 p.m.
According to West Bloom-
field police, an anonymous
caller told the JCC, "I have
placed a bomb in the building,"
then hung up.
Police have no suspects or
motive, but the case has been
assigned to a detective, accord-
ing to Lt. Carl Fuhs of the West
Bloomfield Police Department.
Lt. Fuhs said the department
is increasing security at the
JCC by assigning additional
patrol cars.
Morton Plotnick, executive
director of the JCC, said the
evacuation lasted about 15
minutes before police deter-
mined the building was safe.
The last bomb threat at the
JCC occurred over a year ago,
according to Dr. Plotnick.
Alan Hayman of West
Bloomfield was at the end of his
workout when he and others in
the exercise room were told to
leave the building. He said it
will not keep him away from
the Center. "The thought nev-
er occurred to me."
This incident was one of at
least eight reported to the
Michigan Region Anti-Defama-
tion League since the massacre
in Hebron two weeks ago.
Richard Lobenthal, executive
director of Michigan ADL,
would not say who else received
such calls.
Wayne State University also
had a bomb scare. Tuesday af-
The evacuation
lasted about 15
minutes.

ternoon, Detroit police got an
anonymous call indicating a
bomb would "go off at the Jew-
ish student union or Jewish
meeting room on campus."
WSU police were sent to search
the Hillel Foundation of Metro
Detroit and found nothing.
They have no leads or suspects.
On Feb. 25, the day of the
killing in Hebron, Temple Is-
rael received a phone call from
an unidentified man who said:
"Death to Temple Israel. Heil
Hitler!"
Mr. Lobenthal said he is not
surprised by the "almost text-
book" increase in this type of
activity. He believes the He-
bron incident, the conviction of
the World Trade Center ter-
rorists and the murder of a
Jewish student in New York
have increased tension.
"I can certainly guarantee
that for the next couple of
weeks this situation is going to
continue," Mr. Lobenthal said.
The ADL sent memos to
Jewish institutions suggesting
they increase security and also
notified local police depart-
ments.111
