A former Nazi SS offi-
cer was sentenced to seven years in
prison for his role in the massacre of
59 Italian prisoners in World War II.
Friedrich Engel, also known as the
"Butcher of Genoa," was found guilty
in a German court last week of order-
ing the murders in 1944.
Engel, 93, maintained he was a pas-
sive observer and did not supervise the
executions. Engel expressed regret for
the massacre, but insisted the killings
were justified by the rules of war.

Internet Hate
On Increase

Los Angeles/JTA — Extremist activity
on the Internet has increased since the
Sept. 11 terror attacks in America,
according to the Simon Wiesenthal
Center.
"Extremist groups are undoubtedly
spending more of their efforts online,"
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean,
said about the center's annual report,
"Digital Hate 2002."
Researchers who examined some
25,000 Web sites per month identified
3,300 as "problematic," up from 2,600 a
year ago, according to the report.
Rabbi Cooper said the center was
particularly disturbed by a game called
"Kaboom!" in which the computer
user plays a suicide bomber.
