The Montreal police have arrested two male suspects in the firebombing attacks against the Skver-Toldos Orthodox Boy’s School on September 2, 2006 (as reported HERE & HERE) and the YM-YWHA Ben Weider Jewish Community Centre on April 3rd, 2007 (as reported HERE).

“We are relieved that it appears that they acted as individuals and not as members of an organized group. We had every confidence that the perpetrators of these hate-motivated attacks would be caught and charged accordingly,” said Jeffrey Boro, President of the Canadian Jewish Congress, (Quebec Region).

“CJC, QR and the institutions affected have worked closely with Montreal police throughout the investigation and we are pleased to say that the police demonstrated to our community from the outset that the incidents were being treated very seriously. We are thankful to the police for all of their efforts in these matters.”

“The arrests announced today are a clear indication that our society will not tolerate this kind of violent, racist behavior. We cannot concede even the smallest degree of success to the destructive ambitions of those who seek to promote hatred and contempt for others,” added Mr. Boro.
