Explosion outside French synagogue in La Grande-Motte injures police officer
An explosion took place outside a synagogue in southern France on Saturday morning, which police are treating as attempted arson.
It was caused by two cars being set alight outside the Beth Yaacov synagogue in La Grande-Motte, authorities said. One of the vehicles contained a hidden gas bottle.
France’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin called the incident “an obviously criminal act”.
