French Police Kill Algerian Who Set Fire to Synagogue
(Washington Post-Reuters) Victoria Bisset - Police have killed an Algerian man who set fire to a synagogue in Rouen in northern France, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said Friday. The man climbed a bin to reach the first floor and threw in a flammable substance. When law enforcement arrived at the scene, the man came down and tried to attack police with a long knife and police fired back. Natacha Ben Haim, president of the Jewish community of Rouen, said "a lot of furniture" had been affected by the fire. "The walls, everything is black."
