A Molotov cocktail was thrown into the Rhode Island residence of a Jewish Agency representative at 2:00AM EST, Shabbos morning. The envoy was apparently in a different room at the time of the attack, and was therefore not injured. The Molotov cocktail caused a minor fire in the yard, which firefighters quickly extinguished.
The FBI as well as local Rhode Island police personnel are investigating the incident. This is the first time that a Jewish Agency envoy is attacked in this fashion.
