Molotov Thrown at JCC in California

Police are looking for whoever threw a Molotov cocktail at a Jewish center in West Hills. The incident is being investigated as a hate crime.

It happened at the Bernard Milken Jewish Community Campus early Monday morning. The Molotov cocktail hit an outer wall, causing minor fire damage to the building. No one was injured.

"There is video surveillance video that leads us to believe that the fire did occur around o'clock this morning. We are actively pursuing information that was on the videotape," said Battalion Chief John Miller of the L.A. City Fire Department.

Jewish facilities had been alerted to the potential of an attack after a Palestinian terror suspect was killed in a car bombing last week.

Ahmadinejab is at it Again

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday launched a new strongly-worded attack against Israel, describing the Jewish state as a "dirty microbe" and a "savage animal".

"World powers have created a black and dirty microbe named the Zionist regime and have unleashed it like a savage animal on the nations of the region," he told a rally in the southern city of Bandar Abbas broadcast on state television.

Ahmadinejad has provoked international outrage by repeatedly predicting that Israel is doomed to disappear. He also courted more controversy by playing down the scale of the Holocaust.
